How long was your dev time?
It was 1.5 hours total (including compilation, etc.), so true time would be somewhere around 1 hour 10 minutes maybe?

I had a lot of fun making my (somehow) first fractal / Mandelbrot program, as slow as it is with higher iteration times / slower computers, but I was still energized and excited to try again in a different way, so I brushed myself up on my shaders and made a sequel to this Mandelbrot Set program instead using GLSL! It's (obviously) much faster, despite still running in HTML5 / JavaScript and made in GameMaker! I also figured out how to get the zoom to automatically shift the pan values to make sense / keep whatever is in the center in the center. I'm very happy with it.

Looks pretty, almost killed my computer lol

The Mandelbrot Set is cool. It'd be awesome if you found a way to make a game out of it somehow. And as Bruno said before, the performance is pretty slow.
Looks real pretty, though.
Looks so pretty I went down a YouTube spiral to refresh myself about Mandelbrot Sets :D
Yeah... this fractal, done in an engine (which bloats the game with a bunch of unnecessary stuff) and into html, really kills the performance. Maybe other less intensive fractals would be better.
Edit: oh, sounds would be nice too a bgm or just response to changes. And I think the game crashed my chrome lol Once I sent this comment (before the edit) it froze and kept that way for a couple minutes, i had to kill it lol
