Originally written by Dan and his friend Jerry Coston in the C programming language, Dan has updated their Mandelbrot Fractal Generator using IBM’s EGL programming language.

Using the beta version of a 2D drawing API for EGL written by IBM’s Chris Laffra, Dan was able to readily port the C-based version of Mandelbrot Fractal Generator. Dan also gratefully acknowledges Chris for his code optimizations and guidance.

For the best experience you should use the Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox browsers to run the Mandelbrot Fractal Generator.
