💠 Terminal based fractal explorer, including Mandelbrot, Burning Ship, and Julia. 💠

To install build dependencies:

sudo apt install build-essentials m4

Fromcrates.io:

cargo install rsfrac

Fromthe Github repo:

cargo install --git https://github.com/SkwalExe/rsfrac

You can now start the application with thersfrac command.

Cargo is the package manager for rust projects, it can be installed with:

curl --proto'=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs| sh

Rsfrac leverages GPU capabilities and parallel processing for complex arithmetic operations, enabling smooth navigation and rapid rendering.

Using GMP, MPFR and MPC, Rsfrac allows you to explore fractals infinitely deep by enabling users to increase the decimal precision for calculations as needed.

Rsfrac not only allows you to explore fractals at terminal resolution but also lets you generate high-resolution captures of your current view.

Rsfrac utilizes modern libraries such as Ratatui to provide a full-featured navigation experience, all this in your classic terminal. Rsfrac also supports customizable mouse inputs, allowing for seemless navigation.

Rsfrac offers a robust command system that goes beyond simple fractal navigation. Additional features include capturing high-definition screenshots, adjusting render settings, modifying navigation preferences, changing colors, and much more.

Rsfrac's underlying rendering engine is highly modular. The integrated command system enables you to inspect and modify technical parameters, allowing you to explore beyond the basic Mandelbrot and Julia sets. The combination of adjustable parameters makes the number of possible fractals effectively infinite.
