Fractal Explorer (2D)

Interactive 2D Mandelbrot and Julia set explorer: zoom to any depth with the mouse wheel, drag to pan, tune iteration count and custom Julia parameters, and watch the escape-time coloring flow live.

This 2D canvas explorer renders the Mandelbrot set and three Julia set presets with smooth escape-time coloring, letting you zoom to the cursor with the mouse wheel and pan by dragging, exactly like the 3D shader-driven version but computed pixel-by-pixel on the CPU. Switch fractal type from the mode grid, drag the custom Julia sliders to sculpt your own set live, and tune iteration count, color saturation and palette flow speed to see how each changes the infinite detail at the boundary.

⚙ Under the hood

Zoom and pan a canvas-based Mandelbrot and Julia set explorer with adjustable iteration count, custom Julia parameters, and animated escape-time coloring.
