I have a problem. I tried using perturbation theory for the Magnet Mandelbrot type I fractal, but after going a quadrillion zooms, the image becomes... well, you know what happens.
The code:
Magnet1Mandelbrot {
;
; Magnetic Mandelbrot set type 1. Use Switch Mode to select a
; magnetic Julia set.
;
init:
z = @start
c = #pixel
x = real(z)
y = imag(z)
i = sqrt(-1)
loop:
z = ((z^2 + c - 1) / (2*z + c - 2))^2
bailout:
|z| <= @bailout && |z - 1| >= @lowerbailout
$IFDEF VER60
perturbinit:
#dz = 0
dc = #dpixel
perturbloop:
#dz = ((2*z*#dz^2+c*#dz^2-2*#dz^2+2*z^2*#dz+2*c*z*#dz-4*z*#dz-2*c*#dz+2*#dz-z^2*dc+2*z*dc-dc)*(2*z*#dz^2+c*#dz^2-2*#dz^2+6*z^2*#dz+2*c*z*#dz-4*z*#dz+2*c*#dz-2*#dz+z^2*dc+2*z*dc+2*c*dc-3*dc+4*z^3+2*c*z^2-4*z^2+4*c*z-4*z+2*c^2-6*c+4))/((2*z+c-2)^2*(2*#dz+dc+2*z+c-2)^2)
