Mandelbrot (Golf) Obfuscation

[tadman]

Self-replicating code? Not exactly.

print map{$i=$_/
20;$/,map {$r=$;
=$_/20;$   z=$i;
$n=$z*$     z,$z
=2*$r *     $z+$
i,$r= (      $m=
$           r*$r
)-$n+ $     ;for
a..z; $     m<4?
$":"+"}-    46..
13}-20..19 #GEB?

This version shows a little more fine detail around the edges:

print map{$i=$_/20
;$/,map{ $r=$;=$_/
20;$z=      $i;$n=
$z* $         z,$z
=2* $        r*$z+
$i          ,$r=($
m=$ r        *$r)-
$n+ $         ;for 
a..z;$      m<4?$"
:chr(40+ length$m)
}-46..13}-20..19#!

Not a palindrom: a boustrophedon is a longer, older, more complicated version that lets you browse (interactively or not) the Mandelbrot set. In text mode.

Challenge: make a self-replicating version.
