Mandelbroetchen
===============

The Mandelbroetchen application is an attempt to implement displaying
the Mandelbrot fractal in a way which makes the source code as simple
and as easy to understand as possible.

The Mandelbrot fractal is named after its discoverer Benoit B. Mandelbrot.

==================
Using the software
==================

This software is designed to run on any computer which supports .net 2.

When Rclsoftware.Mandelbroetchen.exe is launched it draws
the Mandelbrot fractal in a 640x480 image using 9 colours.

Clicking on the window with any mouse button causes the clicked
location to be centred in the window. Using the left mouse button
doubles the magnification. Using the right mouse button halfs the
magnification.

Please note that the maximum effective magnification is around 2^45
due to the limitated accuracy of 64bit floating point numbers.

=====================
Using the source code
=====================

The source code is provided in SourceCode.zip and
will compile in Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express if
the project setting 'sign the assembly' is deselected.
