💠 Terminal based fractal explorer, including Mandelbrot, Burning Ship, and Julia. 💠
✨ --> Please head over to our documentation for more information! <-- ✨
You can install fractalistic easily with pip:
pip install fractalistic
If you want to install the application in an isolated environment, you can use pipx:
pipx install fractalistic
Now start the program with:
fractalistic
Note
If the command is not found after installtion, you must add ~/.local/bin
to your path. You can do this by adding export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
to your .bashrc
or .zshrc
file and opening a new shell session.
# For bash
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin' >> ~/.bashrc; bash
# For zsh
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin' >> ~/.zshrc; zsh
Fractalistic leverages parallel processing for complex arithmetic operations, enabling smooth navigation and rapid rendering.
Using MPFR and GMPY2, Fractalistic allows you to explore fractals infinitely deep by enabling users to increase the decimal precision for calculations as needed.
Fractalistic not only allows you to explore fractals at terminal resolution but also lets you generate high-resolution captures of your current view.
Fractalistic utilizes modern libraries such as Will McGugan's Textual framework to provide a full-featured navigation experience, all this in your classic terminal. Fractalistic also supports customizable mouse inputs, allowing for seemless navigation.
Fractalistic 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.
Fractalistic'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.
