*Installation
Requires g++ and make.
Run make in the root of the project to compile.
Then run ./build/main to run the program.
Goals
- To practice C++
- To practice coding that follows the SOLID principles
- To create interfaces that are used for swapping, for example, the Mandelbrot
Set for a Julia Set. There will also be an interface for drawers. The
implementation of
Drawerwill draw to the console and another that will draw to a bitmap. - Draw the Mandelbrot Set as plain text.
- Draw the Mandelbrot Set as a bitmap.
- To use C++ templates
- To use C++ abstract classes
Arguments
--x-coord <number> X coordinate at the centre of the screen (default 0)
--y-coord <number> Y coordinate at the centre of the screen (default 0)
--width <number> Width of the image to draw (default 80)
--height <number> Height of the image to draw (default 20)
--ratio <number> Ratio of height/width (default 2)
--zoom <number> Zoom, width of the screen (default 4)
--iterations <number> Iterations (default 100)
--julia-r <number> Draw a Julia Set with `+ c` as real <number>
(default 0)
--julia-i <number> Draw a Julia Set with `+ c` as imaginary <number>
(default 0)
--multi-r <number> Draw a Multibrot Set with real <number> power
(default 2)
--multi-i <number> Draw a Multibrot Set with imaginary <number> power
(default 0)
--bitmap Draws to a bitmap (default not set)
--min-colour <hex> Minimum colour for the shader (default 000000)
--max-colour <hex> Maximum colour for the shader (default FFFFFF)Examples
