MRFATGOAT

I've really been enjoying my class in Advanced Computer Graphics this semester.  We're interfacing with OpenGL through Java using a library called JOGL.  I'm not a huge fan of the library (or Java for that matter), but OpenGL is downright amazing!  The possibilities are endless, as long as you're willing to do a lot of reading. I've decided to abandon my old program in favor of a completely new design!  Looks like the easiest (and the fastest) way to accomplish fractal rendering to a flat surface is using a custom shader written in GLSL.  It will eliminate the problems I've been having with zooming and panning and simplifies varying the leve

Well, the program I wrote to generate all my images so far is somewhat outdated.  I've taken quite a few more classes in Object Oriented Programming design pattern implementation and am rewriting the program to take advantage of what I have learned.  I also thought this was also a good opportunity to add functionality such as the ability to save images at any resolution, not just the size of the panel the fractals were drawn on.  But I've hit a couple of snags. 1. I'm terribly distracted right now, both socially and academically, which leads to... 2. Been unable to sleep well as of late which contributes to... 3. Unable to decide/wrap my m
