Anyone want to work with me to develop fractal DLL?

[raymcal]

                        I'm developing a DLL in C++ for drawing complex fractals very quickly.  It is working.  But I wonder if one or more people out there might be interested in joining up with me to make something really cool.  Basically, fractals let you draw graphics very efficiently, even randomly.  I'm totally blind, so I rely heavily on fractals.  Iterative function system fractals can make great ferns, of course, but also shrubs, trees, snowflakes, and even wallpaper patterns.  Mandelbrot and Julia fractals, or zoom-ins on those, can make good landscapes, and I do have an option for varigating the results so it looks more like land.  Newton fractals just make cool designs.  If you do things in peacemeal, you can even make fractals for realtime animations.  I don't have midpoint displacement fractals in the dll because they run so quickly in regular BASIC code, but I would be willing to provide the code for that.  I wish I could learn Diamond Square, but I haven't found an explanation online that makes sense to me.  I haven't figured out, yet, how to make a memory bitmap in C++, so right now, the files are saved to a bitmap on the hard drive, and then BASIC can load that bitmap.  For the IFS fractals, I even have the computer form a table of results so one can look over what was made, which is handy for the blind, but also can help a sighted person see where to adjust ua formula.  Anyway, if one or more people would like to move this to the next level, I think there's a lot we could do.  Respond here, or, better yet, by email:  [e-mail]   A good Newton fractal can take all night to run in BASIC, but a C++ DLL can do it in a few seconds.  So I think you can see my reasoning.  OH, yeh, I have also developed a cool formula for a heart fractal as an iterative function system, and also made wheat-like plants, crystals, and all kinds of cool structures, which I can provide instructions and templates on how to do.

Sure, I would be happy to help develop that dll.

                                    Ntech, would you, please, email me at [e-mail].  I can show you what I have, though I'm doing some updating on the Mandelbrot and Newton sides, setting it up for Newton fractals so if you don't know the formula, but you know where the "0's" should be,the computer can figure out the formula for you and run the fractal.  My email,again:  [e-mail].  It would be easier doing the deep work personally, and, we could, if we get more people involved, set up a Facebook group.  I'm using Code Blocks for c++.  I can share with you the problems I'm running into and we can figure out how to outsmart them.  But an easy fractal companion dll for LB users would be quite handy.  You could use it in writing video games to generate plants and landscapes.  While I don't have midpoint displacement included, I'm perfectly fine just providing the code as a sub call or branch label which one can insert into an LB program.  Personally, I like that better.

Done.
