it just crashes when you zoom

Not a real generator

Works brilliantly - up to a point. This is the fastest Mandelbrot generation I've ever seen, BUT after I zoomed in and agreed to use emulated double precision it slowed the whole device to absolute slug speed. If this could be overcome and it could keep up its speed into deep zooms then it would be far and away the fastest and best Mandelbrot generator. It's just not quite there yet.

Very fast, compared to others; however when pushed to extremes it managed to crash and actually reboot Android itself due to the strain. Looks like you could benefit from some multithreading

Crashes, locks, streaks. Nice concept but useless. Samsung S5

About this app

A very fast and fully GPU based way to explore and capture shots of the beautiful and infinite Mandelbrot set.

This app pushes the GPU to the limit by doing all the calculations in GLSL shaders and should be much faster than CPU based methods. At large zoom levels the shader code emulates double precision in a vertex shader and manages on most low end devices to get at least 43 bit precision instead of the normal 10 bit.

Try all the different options. Use two fingers or double tap to zoom. By holding a finger on the screen you can pan and zoom for as long as you like. The fractal will be updated when you stop touching the screen.

Turn off the automatic shader picker and manually try the different modes. The GLSL code is based on www.thasler.org/blog/?p=93 and uses some unusual constructs that some graphics drivers might treat differently.
