Mandelbrot Visualization with Ncurses

This C project allows you to visualize the Mandelbrot Set directly in your terminal using the Ncurses library. The Mandelbrot Set is a set of complex numbers with highly intricate fractal properties. With this program, you can explore the beauty of the Mandelbrot Set right from your command line.

Features

• Real-time visualization of the Mandelbrot Set in your terminal.
• Zoom in and out functionality to explore different regions of the set.
• Smooth movement controls to navigate through the Mandelbrot Set.
• Colorful rendering for enhanced visualization.

Controls

• w: Move up.
• s: Move down.
• a: Move left.
• d: Move right.
• q: Zoom in.
• e: Zoom out.
• space: Quit the program.

Usage

1. Compile the project using the provided Makefile.

   make

2. Run the executable in your terminal.

   ./mandelbrot

3. Use the controls mentioned above to navigate and explore the Mandelbrot Set.
4. Press space to quit the program.

Requirements

• C compiler (GCC recommended)
• Ncurses library
