Overview:
Write a program in your favorite language using a standard graphics library for Linux or Windows that can speedily produce a series of Mandelbrot fractals (Z=Z2+C). The coloring schema you choose is up to you; but at least 32 colors must be used.
Apress will award prizes prizes for the fastest program in each of the three language groups: C and C++; Perl, Python, PHP, and Common LISP; and C#, Java, and VB.NET. The creator of the overall fastest fractal generator from any of the qualifyng languages groups will win the grand prize: a Sony PSP. And the creators of the next fastest fractal generators in the other two remaining language groups will each win an iPod Shuffle.
