Mandelbrot Generator

[GCHarder]

Here's a new Mandelbrot generator based on an ASCII version I found at "Rosetta Code". See the enclosed Readme.txt for more details.

Hi Greg

It's an interesting program and nice to see it supports Chroma colour!

When I run it without Chroma enabled, I need to select 64K RAM else it crashes. Chroma colour uses RAM at 48-64K and so presumably the program relies on having RAM paged here?

Looks like you found a bug...

In the "ZASCIIbrot" program change line 1020 to

1020 LET L=USR IREG

Then add line 1025

1025 IF CHROMA THEN LET L=USR 17146

Luckily, this bug is bypassed when LOADing the pre-rendered files so they work.

Fixed a couple bugs and added a new Chroma specific animation key. During the animation the "S" key acts as a "solid color" switch, which as the name implies, displays all the characters in solid colors. This is a switch so you can switch back and forth from solid colors to white characters on the colored background.

I've added a link to my website on the page that lists software known to directly drive the Chroma colour facilities:
