JULIAN SET FRACTAL GENERATOR by James Rankin

Makes fractals on the TI-82.

11/17/95





This is a program that, in 35-60 minutes, will generate

a fractal on the TI-82. TI-85 users may use this program

by running the translator included on the disks

of their Graph-Link.



These fractals can be used in the study of a new

and exciting field of science, chaos. Chaos is

somewhat new, and few people are experts. Machines

did not have the power to generate these fractals until

the 70's, when IBM mainframes ran crude programs

that took hours to make a low resolution picture. A TI

is powerful enough to make one in a marginally decent

amount of time, although the resolution is obviously

limited. Still, when a fractal is finished, a complex

pattern will be seen. This pattern was created using

numbers that appear random (read chaotic), but the inherent

order is obvious. IN CHAOS IS ORDER. This is just the

tip of the iceberg to chaos.



Comments or questions are welcomed. Also, I've made

an ultra-high resolution 256 color fractal generator

for a PC. It requires at least a 386, DX preferable,

hopefully with at least 1 MB of video RAM. If you want

the program and the Turbo Pascal source code, just e-mail

me.
