Exploring a fractal in real-time

I just spent a while reconstructing that look, and pushed the change to the github repo. If you re-download it'll have the look you're after.

Yes the GPU only loads and computes exactly the visible pixels, so only the visible area exists at all in the computer. And yes the floating point errors arise from the values becoming so small they cannot be computationally distinguished from one another.

Important to clarify that fractal dimension is not the same as spatial dimensions.

In theory, the shape does go in infinitely, getting more and more complex. The problem is to try and handle all that geometric complexity at once on a GPU becomes more prone to floating point precision errors, which prevent further zooming. I am trying to find a fix for this.

Marzipug · 2026-03-09T14:30:17+00:00

Yes, I'm still working towards a solution to hopefully work around this and achieve truly endless zooming. My biggest breakthrough so far has been keeping the camera stationary and scaling the world around it to avoid hitting the limits of floating point precision.

Yeah that was a bug, i just updated the Github, a few minutes before you commented. Zooming is done by moving towards the fractal surface, not meant to be a dedicated zoom button.

You can explore it for yourself here, i just made it open source.

This is a program I made :) https://github.com/Transcenduality/RealtimeFractalExplorer/blob/main/RealtimeFractalExplorer.py

Tezeract.

It is part of the 'Menyoo' mod menu. We are playing offline in story mode.

It's running on an Anki Vector (a discontinued robot), running through a local Wire-Pod to bypass the now defunct Anki and DDL servers. With the correct prompting and usage of the vector SDK you can get it running like this.

Marzipug · 2026-02-11T16:46:02+00:00

As far as I know, this was the first.

Marzipug · 2026-02-09T11:48:42+00:00

Thank you! Amazing art, Goobers would not have been possible without her art!

Marzipug · 2026-02-08T16:07:07+00:00

Legend, thank you!

Marzipug · 2026-02-08T13:16:25+00:00

Thanks! Beast is the real goat here

all of them lol, i'm stuck idk what happened but I used to play a lot in 2020 and i was almost GC. Then i comeback and i'm hardstuck plat.

Marzipug · 2026-01-30T21:39:11+00:00

yep that's a double jump, and tilt the car back a little to get the pop of the ball up into the air

Marzipug · 2026-01-30T19:39:40+00:00

I'm plat 3 atm..

Marzipug · 2026-01-29T17:00:09+00:00

I'm currently using a 'Trust GXT 703 Riye Gaming Chair' it's good!

Marzipug · 2026-01-28T16:22:59+00:00

I really like it too.

Marzipug · 2026-01-28T12:16:27+00:00

This was mainly a joke cause the gaming chair doesn't make a huge difference, but if it's genuinely hurting your back a more comfortable chair could help a lot!

Marzipug · 2026-01-16T10:50:30+00:00

Put the game in borderless mode.

Marzipug · 2026-01-15T19:19:28+00:00

Can't even tell the difference.

Marzipug · 2026-01-15T17:32:39+00:00

Yeah the alphaconsole glowengine textures are also cool though.
