fractals

In mid 90's with the advent of "fast" CPUs, fractals became an omnipresent obsession.

1. W. Sierpiński

Source: TASM, QBasic.

2. B. Mandelbrot

Source: TASM, QBasic. It uses integer arithmetic! (and for some unknown reasons I used MACROs instead of PROCedures...)

Fig. 2. Integer-valued Mandelbrot set. Slightly deformed, but who cares as it appears in 3 (three) seconds (not minutes!) on a 80286.

3. G. Julia

Source: TASM, QBasic.

4. E. Lorenz
