I recently got a Mandelbrot Set (that thing normally rendered as a pretty fractal picture thing, for those who don't know) generator working in BYOND, and it's quite cool. At the moment it supports custom zoom levels but offsetting the viewport requires a recompile (too lazy to sort that out, compiling only takes a second anyway). It also only renders in greyscale - if anyone knows a decent colouring algorithm then I'm interested.
Anyway, here's some pictures. They're rendered in 70x70 (maximum viewport size on BYOND, I think) and then blown up to 210x210 for your viewing pleasure.

Also, does anyone know the locations of any particularly interesting bits? I found a spiral at -0.774708,-0.124208 at some insane zoom level. The highest zoom level I've been to is about 1200000x.



Sounds neat. Where can I download it? Or are you keeping it from us? o.O
I'll put it up for download once it's finished. It even works in text mode so Linux users can Mandelbrot on BYOND as well.
I've also made a much more awesome version using Delphi which I'll also upload, but that also has a couple of problems I need to fix. I want to have it so that you can click a part of the image to centre on that part the next time you render, which isn't happening right now.
