Look inside
Take a trip into the fascinating world of fractals! Here, you’re an art director for a documentary on the 1960s psychedelic movement. Your goal is to wow your audience with a mind-bending title image—a perfect application for fractals. You’ll build programs that create fractals by drawing lines recursively, create ghostly multi-dimensional shapes, and draw escape-time fractals using the Mandelbrot set (the most popular fractal in the world).
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
