Roadmap & Contributing

Fractouille aims to evolve into a multi-frontend fractal engine with GPU support, arbitrary precision rendering and multiple CPU render backends.
See ROADMAP.md for the full picture.

Contributions are welcome, there is a lot of ground to cover.

Museum

Some really cool pictures I took can be seen in the museum folder.
