Julia

Fractal Renderer (Minimal C/OpenGL)

This project renders Julia fractals in C using multithreading.

Developed on x86_64.

Build and Run

Make sure you have OpenGL and GLUT development libraries installed. Install make to support the makefile.

If you are on Windows, use MINGW64.

To build:

make -jN

To run:

make run

To clean:

make clean

All in one command on default settings:

clear; make clean; make; make run
