WIP - This is my A-level (Junior/Senior year equivalent) Computer Science coursework as submitted. REMEBER TO MAKE BRANCH IF WORKING ON FURTHER
Fractal Flow is a next generation application for rendering fractal images over the complex plane, with a focus on generating custom user-defined fractals.
Fractal Flow aims to streamline and accelerate the process of exploring new fractal objects - beyond the Mandelbrot set. Fractal Flow combines a blazing fast rendering kernel with a UI whioh empowers rapid iteration and generation of ideas.
- Windows Presentation Foundation (C#)
- Model View View Model (MVVM) design principal
- MVVM implemented using Caliburn Micro
- Fractal Flow uses a meta-programming approach to achieve superior performance. The application generates an OpenCL Kernel specifically for the formula specified, which is ran on the GPU.
- The application currently also includes a renderer for the CPU, however it is highly unoptimised and unfeasibly slow, and thus will no longer be maintained.
- CPU & GPU rendering capabilities
- Create a custom fractal by specifying a formula
- Natural math expression achieved through proprietary formula parser
- Two types of fractal colouring algorithm
- Specify iterations, bail value and region on the complex plane
- Save and load proprietary .frac fractal definition file
- Save fractal image as .png
- Random colours button
- Console Window
- Fractal definition objects saved in SQL database
