asciibrot

Description

asciibrot is a simple ascii mandelbrot fractal generator running in terminal. It's written in Go and should run on all the existing platforms, however the Linux based is the one on which it was tested.

Install

go get github.com/esimov/asciibrot

Usage

go run julia.go --help

You can run the example in monochrome or color version. For the color version use --color or -c. For monochrome version use --mono or -m.

You can build the binary version with go build github.com/esimov/asciibrot.

Code example

To generate different output you can play with values defined in the main function:

for {
    n += 0.045
    zoom += 0.04 * math.Sin(n)
    asciibrot.DrawFractal(zoom, math.Cos(n), math.Sin(n)/zoom*0.02, math.Sin(n), MAX_IT, true, isColor)

    // On CTRL+C restore default terminal foreground and background color
    go func() {
        <-c
        fmt.Fprint(asciibrot.Screen, "%s%s", "\x1b[49m", "\x1b[39m")
        fmt.Fprint(asciibrot.Screen, "\033[2J")
        asciibrot.Flush()
        os.Exit(1)
    }()
}
