Mandelbrot Set Orbits

Mandelstep (requires Java Plugin )

This is a fun Java (and also Tcl/Tk) applet I wrote (there is also a full-blown application version) that gives some insight about the Mandelbrot set. It is not a fractal generator, but rather an orbit watcher...
It's a fun puzzle, try it!

If you have the Tcl/Tk Plugin you can run a Tcl/Tk applet version of Mandelstep here.
