V5 Update:

- Implemented colour cycling mode.

It’s fascinating, it’s artsy, it’s mathematically sound — it’s Art’s Fractal Universe and it just made its way to version 4 with significant improvements to back it up… Allow me to quote Art –

This is my fourth release of Fractal Universe for the Sony Playstation Portable. Fractal Universe is a fractal explorer that now supports both Mandelbot and Julia sets. You can move left, right, up, down, and zoom in & out of the image you see at any time. An overlay viewfinder window has been implemented since V3 that lets the user zoom into any particular spot in the image they want. This saves a lot of rendering time.

Fractal Universe V4 changes:

• Added progress bar for new frame rendering.
• Implemented live updated display for new frame rendering.
• Added support for anologue controller.
• Added support for Julia set algorithm.
• Implemented feature to prevent previously saved images from being overwritten.
• Implemented colour palette display.
• Colour palette generation no longer causes a new frame to be rendered.

Update:

• Added a higher quality setting (255 iterations).
• Implemented auto mode that can create frames of a fractal growth effect video.
• Program now clocks the PSP to 333 MHz.
• Saved images are now in 24 bit bitmap format.
• Some information is now shown on the calculating screen.
• Program now makes click sound for every valid button press, and when a new frame is rendered.
• Fixed program exit screen to work properly when Home button is pressed.
• Implemented zoom viewfinder.
• Images are now saved to ms0:/PICTURE/Fractals so they can be viewed in the XMB picture viewer.

Here’s a little somethin’ somethin’ from the developer you know as Art… It’s Fractal Universe — Explore it! Really, I don’t know what else to tell ya.

This is a relatively fast Mandelbrot set fractal explorer. You can move left, right, up, down, and zoom in & out of the image you see at any time. The fractal universe is limitless, and you can zoom in as many times as you like without losing any detail. You can also save an image to Memory Stick.
