Introduction

I’ve worked on this project several times now and I’ve split it up into several parts:

C

My first try at a renderer was using a guide provided by Tsoding in his project olive.c.

Using these basic concepts, I then used the tutorial provided by The Coding Train to render a mandelbrot fractal:

mandelbrot/ has my first c port. Afterwards, I tried parallelizing my renderer using multithreading and openmp: mandelbrot-gamma/ mandelbrot-lambda/ is in the works but it’s supposed to be the same as mandelbrot-gamma but using lambdas I will probably remove this further on since mandelbrot-gamma has proven to be the way forward for this project.

Here it is:
