Nico Francois mandelbrot viewer
« on: September 29, 2004, 07:25:30 AM »
This particular viewer drew the outline of the different iteration/colour regions and then filled instead of calculated all the points inside - this made it quick and interesting to watch.  Anyone know where to get it from these days?

All righty then...  Does anyone know the man's current email?  Is it even advisable that I try?

'Course he did!  But asking Santa for Nico's mandelbrot generator probably won't work so I thought, 'If anyone has or knows where this is, Nico does!'  (I often think in exclamation marks).  

I suppose I could write a program that draws mandelbrots the way Nico's did but then, at some point, I'd definitely want to compare and contrast...  

But for now, I'd just like to locate his groovy little proggy.

Googling on 'nico francois' renders a few emailaddys, tried those?

Good suggestion, Odin but I didn't get anywhere with it.  There are plenty of his old email addresses so I tried them but only got delivery errors.  

Apparently, he spoke at a 'Click conference' earlier this year so he's still out there - whatever that might mean.  ;)

No biggy.  I'll just become more and more inclined to write my own one of these days...
