Re: (Golf) Mandelbrot Fractal

[{NULE}]

Hi again, my good monks,

I'm pleased by the enthusiastic response to this post. The author of the original article was forwarded this node, although I'm not aware if he has commented on it. It looks like we could get down to about the mid 130's without changing the algorithm at all, and the low 120's with minor changes that are still in the spirit of thing. (Sorry belg4mit, that constant thing is cheating. {g})

I learned plenty too, which is the whole reason for golfing. I'm kicking myself for not seeing the dumb optimizations in the simple mathematics (being a mathematician by training, you'd think I would have spotted that - but I was too focused on improving the Perl and didn't think about the algorithm enough).

Anyway, thanks for all the responses,
{NULE}
