Mandelbrot Set, Enhanced.
Hello all! I have been working on fixing up my old Mandelbrot Set code over the past few days. I will not list everything I changed (and that is definitely not because I forgot all that I did!), but if you are interested, you can feel free to look at the old code (which I have linked below) and compare it with the new code. Essentially, the major things that I changed help to improve scaling of the resolution, and improve color-picking accuracy. It takes quite a long while to finish rendering, so here's a finished product:
Hope you enjoy this revamp, and any feedback you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
The old code is here: https://repl.it/@LizFoster/The-Mandelbrot-Set#main.py
This is amazing. Excellent job ;)
@TheDboi141 Thank you!
Rly cool! intersting!
@JBYT27 Thank you!
How's your Pokemon game going?
@DynamicSquid It is on a bit of a standstill at the moment. I need to do some research to find faster ways of rendering objects on the screen, since I am not sure how to get multiple turtles to run simultaneously in the Python with Turtle option. I could probably get something put together for that in the Python IDLE program, but the Python with Turtle on repl.it lacks some modules, several of which might be necessary..
@LizFoster I heard that PyGame was better than Turtle. Have you tried that?
@DynamicSquid I have yet to try PyGame. In truth, I have been stubbornly hoping to find a way to do it using Turtle exclusively, since I quite like Turtle.. It probably would not even look good if I could actually find a way to pull it off, ha ha!
I will look into PyGame at some point, I just have not gotten to it.
@LizFoster Ah okay. Good luck on it!
@DynamicSquid Thanks!
@LizFoster Probably PyGame would be best. I mean, Turtle has its uses, but game dev isn't usually one...
@AmazingMech2418 Yeah, true. I am not sure what the best way to learn it would be, though, since even when I follow the (limited) tutorials on the tutorial tab, it just pops up with errors..
Also hello ^_^
@LizFoster I'm actually working on finding a way to transfer your sprite renderer to PyGame right now! :D
Also, hi!
@LizFoster Can you by any chance find a working keyboard input thing for PyGame? I think I have the basic renderer made...
@AmazingMech2418 Oh, wow! Thank you! How have you been? Made any cool codes lately?wwwww
@LizFoster What do you think about https://repl.it/@AmazingMech2418/Learning-PyGame#main.py ?
@LizFoster Thank you and you're welcome! :D I've been doing pretty well. How about you? Also, I just recently published my third NPM package! :D
@AmazingMech2418 Okay, this seems simple enough:
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[x]:
do y
if keys[a]:
do bI am not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but here is where I found this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16044229/how-to-get-keyboard-input-in-pygame
Does that work for the project?
@LizFoster For some reason, I keep getting this:
@AmazingMech2418 Looks good! (Why have I not gotten a program to run properly T~T)
What key does [K_q] refer to?
@AmazingMech2418 Nice! I've been doing alright myself, lately I've found a lot more artists to listen to whilst coding or vIbInG, so that's nice. ^1^
@LizFoster Actually, I think I got something working...
@LizFoster That was the ID for the letter q I think...
@AmazingMech2418 PyGame is complex... >~<
That's odd, since this list shows K_q as valid...
@AmazingMech2418 Yes, sorry, I hadn't seen that list yet..
@LizFoster Thank you! And nice! :D And it's fine! I honestly just looked it all up right then and there. LOL! But I did get it all working! https://repl.it/@AmazingMech2418/Learning-PyGame#main.py :D
@AmazingMech2418 How odd, now it says there is an error (Also, I apologize for my absence, I kinda passed out, ha ha!)... '~'7
@LizFoster Well, just run it again. The error is an x-server connection thing for the display... (and wait, passed out? Is everything okay?)
@AmazingMech2418 Ah, alright, sounds good. I will try that out, then. (Also, yes, everything is alright. I just did not get much sleep last night, and kind of dozed off. Is "passed out" the wrong term there?)
@LizFoster Okay. :D (Okay. Usually, "passed out" refers to something during the daytime where something medical (usually respiratory or circulatory) causes you to lose consciousness, so I was kind of worried something was wrong. It's good that you're okay though! And that is much better than actually passing out!)
@AmazingMech2418 (Oh, oops! LOL)
(I'm glad I'm okay too!)
@LizFoster It's fine!
@AmazingMech2418 Hello! Would it be alright by you if I copied the code over from the "Learning Pygame" code (giving credit and thanks of course) so that I could tinker with it more?
@LizFoster Sure! Feel free! :D
@AmazingMech2418 Yay! Thank you! Seriously, you have been a huge help with this. If it weren't for you I probably would still be stumped on drawing the sprites in turtle !wwwww
@LizFoster You're welcome! :D
Hello, haven't seen you on repl talk in a while. Cool project!
@Codemonkey51 Thank you! Yes, I haven't quite had the opportunity or time due to stuff in real life ^ ^"
Cool ^_^ @LizFoster how's the Pokémon game going?
@Codemonkey51 I actually just started back up on it. I've switched over to PyGame now, with a lot of help from @AmazingMech2418 (Like, a LOT a lot of help *^ _^)!
Cool, I thonk pygame might speed up development a lot. Also one question: are you going to make it so you can easily add new Pokémon, so like you can easily implement other Pokémon games (like the different colors (sorry I'm a Pokémon nub)) once ur done? @LizFoster
@Codemonkey51 I think that would be very cool, though you would need to make it so the user provides the new Pokemon's stats, sprite, and all the values surrounding it. Could be a cool little Easter Egg, but might be a bit complicated for a user who doesn't want to go through the trouble of all that..
I meant make it easy for a programmer (you) to add new characters and maps, and stuff @LizFoster
@Codemonkey51 Oh, I see. Yes, I will eventually.
Coolio, can't wait to see it when it is done @LizFoster
@Codemonkey51 Yes, whenever that is..
