Very simple Qt4 based fractal renderer
QtFractal is a very simple fractal generator developed as an exercise to learn Qt4 and refresh my C++. It is not and will probably never be a full-fledged fractal rendering application like Gnofract 4D, Fractint and others.
Heavily influenced by the great mandelbrot tutorial at Nokia.
To build QtFractal you need to have a recent Qt4 development environment.
All modern Linux distributions, KDE or Gnome based, provide the correct packages. Once the Qt development packages are installed a simple
$ qmake
$ makewill build the project.
To develop on Windows you have to download the Qt Windows SDK that comes equipped with the mingw32 free compiler. Please refer to the Qt Nokia site for more information.
