Short: interactive fractal zoomer(console vers.) Author: see README for the authors Uploader: megacz usa com Type: dev/gg Version: 3.0 Requires: ixemul48+,os2.04+,2meg+ Architecture: m68k-amigaos XaoS-3.0 - console version -------- - --------------- --- INTRODUCTION: XaoS is a fast portable real-time interactive fractal zoomer. It displays the Mandelbrot set (among other escape time fractals) and allows you zoom smoothly into the fractal. Various coloring modes are provided for both the points inside and outside the selected set. In addition, switching between Julia and Mandelbrot fractal types and displaying planes is provided. The first version was a poorly written Mandelbrot view by Thomas later modified by Jan to support high frame-rate zooming. Other additions were later made including autopilot (for those of you without drivers licenses), palette changing, PNG saving, and fractal inversion. --- NOTES: - consider this port as a very beta! - this is cli/shell version that require TERM variable and terminfo entry(entries included). - dont switch to "true color" mode or mr.guru will knock to your door =] - set 'stack 50000' before starting. - kinda slow on my 68040/33(~11 fps at 80x25 console), so 68060/50,60,80 hardly recommended! (proggy like 'OxyronPatcher' might boost it up, since this thing is FPU intensive, but i havent tried that as i only have 'MuRedox' here) - graphics, console, exec patches/optimizers is a must on AGA or use 1 bit screen :) - this port has only one driver compiled in: ncurses (ncurses 5.5, very optimized and nice!) - have fun if you got fast CPU or play lego bricks to kill the pain, lego is cool @#$% :[ - no PNG saving, sorry, compiled in a hurry, maybe next version will be full, depends on you, let me know if you enjoyed it. - requires 'ixemul.library' 48+, FPU and 2 megs of fast memory. - changes were made to 'src/util/xstdio.c' and 'src/util/timers.c', so that it was possible to compile it actually... - generated code is 68020-60 compliant. - try other terminfo entries if the default one causes problems, go 'usr/local/share/terminfo/a/' to see all of them. --- QUICK START: cd xaos-3.0-bin-m68k set TERM amiga assign usr: usr stack 50000 bin/xaos --- catch me at: megacz@usa.com
