CARROROB@UREGINA1.BITNET (Robert Carroll) (03/19/89)
This is my first posting to this conference. If I accidentally break
any rules, please don't yell, just let me know! :^).
What I need is some information about programs for the amiga that demonstrate
fractal geometry. I can't seem to locate any programs or demos that use
fractals to generate graphics. Also, if there is any information out there
on fractal geometry, please send me it, or tell me where I can get a copy
for myself.
This is for a math paper :^\, so any help or information would be GREATLY
appreciated. Thanx.

Thanx. > > - Robert Carroll Robert, There are a number of Mandelbrot programs available on the Amiga. The first was by Robert French. It can be found on one of the first 20 Fish Disks. A number of other Mandelbrot programs have become available since then. My Mandelbrot program named MandelVroom is available on Fish Disk 128. The source and executable are both available on that disk. There are a number of fractal terrain generators available on the Fish too. Also there was really neat program called FractGen released by Fred recently (e.g. Fish Disk 173-present) I hope to be releasing a new version of MandelVroom VERY soon with many new features: multiple picture windows open and generating simultaneously picture recoloration while picture is generating Julia curve support 256 contours color cycling halfbrite support workbench or cli PAL system support orbits and many other whizzy things... As soon as I get out of beta test, I'll be sending the whole thing to Bob Page (source and all.) Actually since Bob is moving out here to Silicon Valley, I'll probably just give it to him on floppy at a BADGE meeting. I'm also working on a HAM 3D fractal display. Too many projects, too little time. Kevin -- UUCP: kevin@uts.amdahl.com or: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,seismo,oliveb}!amdahl!kevin DDD: 408-737-5481 USPS: Amdahl Corp. M/S 249, 1250 E.

Subtitled "Computer Modelling of Chaos, Fractals, Cellular Automata and Neural Networks", it is published in paperback (C) 1989 by Windcrest (a division of TAB Books). If you can think of BASIC as a protoyping language then the many examples in the book will be quite useful to you, I think. There is also a decent bibliography as well as the math & algorithms which are well-explained for the most part. Para alt Rissa Libre, -- O .
