Mandelbrot

Mandelbrot is a simple utility that lets you view the set whose name it carries. If you have a hard time visualizing the potential of mathematical functions represented in space, then this might keep you glued to the screen for a while.

As you may know or have heard, as much as you zoom in on the Mandelbort set you will never reach an end. In practice, limitations are only implied by your computer's performance.

There is not much that can be done except zooming in and out of the structure. However, you always manage to find a place either worth exploring or you haven't seen before. In spite of its repetitive nature, the application will manage to capture your attention for a good amount of time.

In case you manage to look away, you may stumble upon the “Options” menu. From there, the colors of the background and the shape itself can be changed to offer a unique experience each time you dive into the depths of the Mandelbort set.

The zoom rate can also be changed from there, as well as the screen size, which determines how much space the main window of the application will take on your desktop. The maximum number of iterations can be either increased or decreased, a greater value making your computer process a little slower.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Mandelbrot is simply a way to make the time pass a little faster. If you are caught in the pretty visuals, you might get caught in the magic, ending up with more time spent than initially planned.
