1.0 release of fractals
I realise that this is definitely a namespace clash but hey.
After a few days work and significant help from #cl on the srcf irc my fractals program is ready for 1.0 release – at least in my eyes there are no known bugs – save that there may be more efficient algorithms to use especially from the point of view of quality of display – see here for an example of tc’s better version of carpet.
The ML code is released under GPL version 2 and can be found here
To compile it you will need a version of Moscow ML with its libraries – e.g. NOT the one shipped by Ubuntu which does not have the libraries packaged – hopefully this will be fixed in Jaunty – I used the version on the linux pwf machines at Cambridge University. All other instructions on compilation are included as a comment in the file.
Examples of output can be found here
This is an extension of ML Tick6* Foundations Of Computer Science at Cambridge University
