Mandelbrot Fractal Generator

I would appreciate an in-viewer option to change the image resolution. It is taking ~10 sec to redraw on zoom-in, but I don't immediately need that much detail.

Nice work!

Thanks. It calculates the escape time for every single pixel on the screen to produce the sharpest image possible - it can be kind of slow on retina/4k displays. It will run faster on 1080p displays (or if you change your monitor resolution).

Calculating the escape time for every single pixel isn't "sharper", just slower.
