Description
Create fun and interesting computer generated wallpapers for your iPhone.
Fractalate is optimized to draw as quickly as possible.
Have fun rotating the screen to any orientation and see the current view redrawn.
Repeatedly zoom in quickly; you don't have to wait for the fractal to redraw before zooming in to a new section of the fractal.
Fractalate creates fractal images for the Mandelbrot and Julia fractal sets. The images are easily saved to the iPhone photos folder so they can later be used for wallpaper images for your phone.
Fractals are constructed from mathematical formulas. Because of this you can theoretically zoom into any point of the fractal to infinity and it continues to display interesting and new patterns.
The refresh action creates a brand new palette of 512 colors and redraws the current fractal view. This new palette is made through a series of algorithms that provide a brand new and completely unique set of colors.
Fractalate uses double precision floating point values and allows zooming in to the images that you can see approximately 30,000,000,000,000 aka 30 trillion times. If you took the average screen size of 14" and resolution 1280x1024 you'd have a pixel that was about 5 million square miles.
What's New in Version 1.1
Pinch zoom to zoom in and out (without waiting)
Rotate the screen to any orientation you like.
You can set the exact coordinates of the fractal to view for both Mandelbrot and Julia fractals.
A lot more help information.

Cool app - thanks!
I really enjoyed this app. I was really impressed that it's so fast. You can continue to zoom in on an area while it's still generating other areas - i.e. I can keep tapping and it will continue to zoom in where I want and NOT focus on getting other areas that I don't care about. I was also surprised that I could save it as a picture! Plus, did I mention, IT'S FREE! Thank you!
Cool app!
I could zoom in on and move around these images forever ... Interesting and cool that such a lightweight app can create these vibrant images. Thanks.
Lots of different images
Pretty neat that there seems to be just zillions of different images to create. I had fun looking at some different values for the Julia images and getting all sorts of different pictures from it.
