Mandelbrot Set Explorer

Interactive Mandelbrot set explorer with CPU / multi-core / GPU backends, real-time zoom, and GIF export — all wrapped in a simple Tkinter control panel.

https://github.com/Pooria-Lari/Mandelbrot-set/

Features

• 🔍 Real-time Mandelbrot zoom

  • Adjustable center (cx, cy)
  • Control where the zoom point appears in the frame (sx, sy)
  • Geometric zoom progression (smooth zoom-in)

• ⚙️ Multiple compute backends

  • CPU single-core (Numba)
  • CPU multi-core (Numba + parallel prange)
  • GPU (CUDA) via Numba (optional, if you have a supported NVIDIA GPU)

• 🎨 Flexible coloring

  • Log-scaled iteration counts
  • Any matplotlib colormap (magma, plasma, viridis, …)

• 🎞 GIF export

  • Render zoom animations directly to a .gif file
  • Adjustable resolution, frame count, zoom range, and FPS

• 🖱 Simple GUI

  • Tkinter-based control panel
  • No command-line arguments required
