Realtime Mandelbrot 1.1


Category: Entertainment
Price: $0.99 -> Free (iTunes)

Description:

Normally a paid app, it's free this weekend. Don't be shy, check it out. The current low rating is from people who downloaded v1.0 on unsupported devices despite a warning in the app description. Please consider reviewing this app. Thank you and enjoy!

In brief: GPU-powered, this app is 20x faster than the rest of the pack. Supersampling delivers the highest image quality. Easy-to-use coloring sliders provide pleasing hues–at 60 frames per second. Optionally does animated zooms.

Create wondrous and gorgeous images, like those in the screenshots below, in seconds on your iPhone 3GS or iPod touch ("Late 2009" aka "3G", 32 and 64 GB). (Note, only these models are supported as this app utilizes hardware only found in these models.)

Pinch to zoom, and drag your finger to pan, and fluidly explore the most famous of fractals, the "Mandelbrot set." Color your images using an artistic coloring scheme that magically finds pleasing hues.
This is the one app that allows you to navigate and color in "real-time"--you get immediate, final-quality results and never wait.

When you're done creating an image, save it within the app or into Photos. Browse your collection, revisit and maybe re-adjust images, and email favorites to yourself or a friend. If you have an Internet connection, you can share your creations with the world and browse the latest submissions by others.

New in v1.1, you can watch zoom animations from location to location.

This is a fun app for fans of fractal images or anyone wanting to witness the power of the awesome SGX graphics processing unit (GPU) of the iPhone 3GS or newest iPod touch.

Features:
- Interactive navigation of the Mandelbrot set
- Interactive coloring using an easy-to-use color tuning scheme
- Desktop app-quality images with 2x supersampling
- Image saving and browsing, split-second re-opening
- Sharing with the world
- Tips for first-time users

This app is the only one in the App Store to compute the Mandelbrot set on the GPU.
Doing so yields 20+ times greater speed compared to CPU-based apps: You get multiple screen updates per second, instead of a "preview" within a few seconds and a "final" render after up to half a minute. This also affords producing highest-quality images, free of "jaggies."

Come and explore the Mandelbrot set. 10 years ago you needed a supercomputer to do it at interactive speeds. Now you can do it on your (super-)phone.

See the support website for usage info, screenshots, and an image gallery.
