A Fractal Experience 32 Written and Programmed by David Wright This program was written to give students a better understanding behind the amazing phenomenon of fractals. Any student who has taken Algebra I or higher should be able to get a basic understanding of the process. Students who have taken Algebra II should be able to understand all the math that is used. The original DOS version was written during the '95-'96 school year by Computer Science I student David Wright. It was written almost entirely in Pascal (Borland Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS) The 32 bit Windows 95 version was based on the original source code, but rewritten in Borland Delphi as a full Windows application. It is full tested and seems to be bug free. Please report any bugs/errors to the e- mail address below. The source code may be obtained upon request if you are interested. If you just want to look at it to get a better understanding of fractals, you may prefer the DOS code instead. It is downloadable from the web site listed below. The Windows Source code would really only make sense to someone interested in learning Delphi, since the primary routines are the same as the DOS version, and the other routines are Delphi specific.

If you are still having problems, of there is something that you can't figure out, e-mail me and I will try and sort it out. If you want to know more about how the program works, or would like to create additional information or example files, see the techinfo.rtf file. It can be viewed in the program (go to Teach Me! and Program Info) or in any Windows word processor.
