I’ve just finished the modifications to my Mandelbrot program that will allow me to zoom past the normal limitations of C++.
I didn’t finish ipfloat, I’ve put that on the backburner for now (although I _will_ be finishing it before the end of summer). Instead, I used GMP – GNU Multiprecision Library. It’s not the ideal solution; it’s very bulky and slow – but it gets the job done. Hopefully when I finish ipfloat I can improve size, if not speed.
Anyway, here is my very first, preliminary zoom image! The colouring is dull, I know – I need to write an algorithm for more than one colour.
Mandelbrot Deep Zoom
Tada! This image is centered around -1.78646693153666370 + 0i , with 2000 iterations and an escape radius of 2.
In other news, I’m still working on the Media Center program. Unfortunately, one of the Telerik controls doesn’t work the way it should, so I’m using a MS DataGridView for the time being.

Mandelbrot on my iPhone!

Haha, awesome. Truly awesome. I’m betting it has an excellent interface for zooming/panning, what with the touch-iness of iphones.
A guy I work with (well, for) has the iphone sdk. Random bit of information.
It’s pretty amazing, double-tap to zoom in, or you can use the two finger pinch. But, it’s pretty slow when you’re zoomed in a lot.
I did manage to crash it XD. But it just shows the basic set, and allows you to zoom in and out. That’s all it can do >>
