brutpitt / glslmandel

Very simple and short glsl Mandelbrot example

glslMandel

Explore Mandelbrot set in OpenGL

To build need to have GLFW library (binary and devel)

Files:

• Mandelf.cpp -> explore mandelbrot with single (float) precision
• Mandeld.cpp -> explore mandelbrot with double precision
• Mandeld_fullColor.cpp -> explore mandelbrot with double precision and logaritmic smooth coloring

Files, all files, have extension .cpp but are written in C

To build use:

gcc -I. -lglfw -ld -lGL Mandel[d|f].cpp glad/glad.cpp

or

clang -I. -lglfw -ld -lGL Mandel[d|f].cpp glad/glad.cpp

For OS X users, need to add -D_OPENGL_4_1_ flag (OS X do not supports OpenGL 4.5)

Windows users can use the VisualStudio project attached.

Live/online WebGL 2 & WebAssembly versions available

Simple version: https://michelemorrone.eu/WebGL/glslMandel/Mandel.html

More complex with logarithmic smooth coloring: https://michelemorrone.eu/WebGL/glslMandelColor/Mandel.html

To run need a browser that have WebGL2 & WebAssembly features. Currently only FireFox or Chromium based browser (Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, etc) supports it, in case of problems check for latest version or download a portable version. You can test the WebGL capabilities of your browser at the following link: WebGL 2 Report
