And we now have colour! Need to figure out how to zoom/move now 😀

Interestingly, the mandrelbot does not actually include the ‘colour’ parts. It’s only the blue bug structure.
We can however generate colour by exploiting the algorithm. And there is tons of ways to do it…

There’s also other algorithms out there that generate different structures!

There even seems to be a image sharpening software (photoshop plugins) (Workflow Technique #028 @Digital Outback Photo) that uses fractals. Those results look amazing, and I’d say technically impossible unless they somehow figure out a ‘pattern’ that is on the image or something..:weee::weee:

:weee:

I’ve found an C++ algorithim on the net (Mandelbrot set tutorial).

I’ve rewritten(translated rather) into python. If anyones interested 😀

import Image, ImageDraw

image = Image.new(‘RGB’, (600, 600))
ImageHeight = 600
ImageWidth = 600

MinRe = -2.0
MaxRe = 1.0
MinIm = -1.2
#Calculate a sutible ‘max Imaginary number’ so it will be in scale
MaxIm = MinIm+(MaxRe-MinRe)*ImageHeight/ImageWidth
#Calculate the ‘range’ of the real/imaginary number per pixel width
#Eg if we are looking at a range of 10, divide by 100 will give us 0.1
#meaning each ‘0.1’ ranges maps to one pixel width/block
Re_factor = (MaxRe-MinRe)/(ImageWidth-1)
Im_factor = (MaxIm-MinIm)/(ImageHeight-1)

MaxIterations = 2000

for y in range(0, ImageHeight):
c_im = MaxIm – y*Im_factor

for x in range(0, ImageWidth):
c_re = MinRe + x * Re_factor
Z_re = c_re
Z_im = c_im
isInside = True
for n in range(0, MaxIterations):
Z_re2 = Z_re * Z_re
Z_im2 = Z_im * Z_im

if Z_re2 + Z_im2 > 4:
isInside = False
break

Z_im = 2 * Z_re * Z_im + c_im
Z_re = Z_re2 – Z_im2 + c_re

if isInside == True:
image.putpixel((x,y), (100, 255, 128))

image.save(‘test.jpg’)[/CODE]

May I add that I still have yet to figure out what it’s doing? 😀 getting there slowly…. grr[CODE]

You changed your fathers world, How is he with you about it?

He seems quite fine about it I guess. Surprisingly 😀

I was in an epic mxe session last nigh or early morning… And woke up to reading about this occupy thing… Feels amazing 😀

So I did change the world :D?

😀 😀 😀 just ‘found’ out about ‘occupy’

In the nicest possible way, I have no idea what you are talking about.

I am questioning why the average person works his entire life like a maniac 8am-5pm 5 days a week. Isn’t this too much effort that people go through to put ‘food’ on the table?

Does all this effort go into paying for ‘technology’ or does it go to big research experiments?

Does THIS make sense now? Hence why I ‘suggest’ that we live in a very in-efficient world, and all our effort/energy is being ‘wasted’.

Wouldn’t it take less effort to actually grow your own vegetables by hand-labour. If we ignored things like rent/taxes?

if i hear the word tool again i thing i’m gonna stick some tools through my brain like a screwdriver!

Well that’s the best way to describe it I guess.

what do you hope to achieve from this? do you not think you’ll regret this tomorrow.

I achieved rational answers to why I use drugs besides ‘they make me feel good and see stuff’.
Regret it tomorrow? Don’t think so… So why did I not mention it before? I guess… I don’t think it was the amt that did this, far from it. It was actually the talk I had with my dad. I wanted to make him understand why I do ‘drugs’ in the first place.. And it was his ‘understandment’ of this that made think up this thing. Amazing how it did happen.

I couldn’t ‘justify’ drugs as not ‘bad’ to him. I’ve wondered before what I would say if I got caught or something.
But when I did justify ‘drug’ use to my dad, somehow I was being so honest that when I explained my rationelle behind it, it was words I couldn’t come up with before (edit: translated ‘thoughts’ into words that described it almost perfectly). I’m not saying its due to mind-expanding-awareness I’m saying it’s due no having no hestation/anxiety to speak to it about my dad.

And when he realised ‘tools’ are used by us human beings, it was like omg drugs really are ok!
Obviously he was worried that I’m using a ‘bad tool’ but thats a personal matter, and it was semi-sorted aswell. 🙂

I’ll do that tomorrow or something
