As 42 school’s first graphical software project, fract-ol is designed to generate fractal images with a self-replicating zoom. It uses complex number calculations to create patterns that repeat across different scales allowing to zoom almost endlessly. The project was developed using the MiniLibX graphical library.

This project has been tested and optimized for MacOS systems using minilibx for MacOS and OpenGL. Minor adjustments may be needed to run it on different machines.
After compiling with make , run the software with a specified fractal type:
./[Executable Name] <Fractal Type> [Optional Parameters]Supported fractal set types include :
Mandelbrot, Julia, Burning Ship.
Example :
./fractol Mandelbrot #launch a Mandelbrot set
./fractol Mandelbrot 4 #launch a Mandelbrot set with specialized colour
./fractol Julia 3 4 #lauch a Julia set so color and set types are mandatory- Navigation: Use Arrow Keys
