I always fancied screen-savers, especially those that didn’t put up a slideshow of the Atlantic’s Ocean’s wonders over and over again.

I’ve written a two screen-savers before, one which ray-traces random sets of spheres and another that runs random sets of Conway’s ‘Game Of Life’ (which is aptly called ‘Life Saver’, pun intended.

Like any CG programmer, a time comes when you get too curious about fractals and just have to try them out.

My little game resulted with a screen-saver that, you guessed right, plots random areas of the Mandelbrot-Set, or in plain-English it ’shows cool stuff on your screen’.
As 99.9…% of the Mandelbrot-Set is basically empty, random regions are internally examined until one with sufficient interest is stumbled upon, and then displayed.
