Fractalistic

How to install 📥

You can install fractalistic easily with pip:

pip install fractalistic

If you want to install the application in an isolated environment, you can use pipx:

pipx install fractalistic

Now start the program with:

fractalistic

[!NOTE] If the command is not found after installtion, you must add ~/.local/bin to your path. You can do this by adding export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin to your .bashrc or .zshrc file and opening a new shell session.

# For bash
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin' >> ~/.bashrc; bash
# For zsh
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin' >> ~/.zshrc; zsh

Features 🌟

⚡ Multi-threaded

Fractalistic leverages parallel processing for complex arithmetic operations, enabling smooth navigation and rapid rendering.

🔢 High Precision Arithmetics

Using MPFR and GMPY2, Fractalistic allows you to explore fractals infinitely deep by enabling users to increase the decimal precision for calculations as needed.

📸 High Quality Screenshots

Fractalistic not only allows you to explore fractals at terminal resolution but also lets you generate high-resolution captures of your current view.

✨ Next-gen Terminal User Interface

Fractalistic utilizes modern libraries such as Will McGugan's Textual framework to provide a full-featured navigation experience, all this in your classic terminal. Fractalistic also supports customizable mouse inputs, allowing for seemless navigation.

📌 Robust Command System

Fractalistic offers a robust command system that goes beyond simple fractal navigation. Additional features include capturing high-definition screenshots, adjusting render settings, modifying navigation preferences, changing colors, and much more.

⚙️ Modular Rendering Engine

Fractalistic's underlying rendering engine is highly modular. The integrated command system enables you to inspect and modify technical parameters, allowing you to explore beyond the basic Mandelbrot and Julia sets. The combination of adjustable parameters makes the number of possible fractals effectively infinite.
