Welcome to Mandelbrot Tours, the
last "magic kingdom" not owned or
operated by The Mouse! Our "Fractal
Flyer" will be cruising at an attitude
between -2 and 2 real and imaginary
whatevers. Under your seat is an
Algebra book that will serve as a
flotation device in the unlikely event
that we are forced to land in the
Infinite Ocean!
This tour is conducted via a
virtual GUI. We wanted a HARDI, but
the darned thing just never really
virtually dried. On the view of the
Main Bug (some call it "bugger
island," but that is a polymisnomial)
you will see six boxes. Point and
click (mouse, joystick, or cursor/
RETURN) within the box to move
virtually closer to the Set. While
viewing the Main Bug, clicking
anywhere other than in a box will
return you to the virtual safety of
LOADSTAR. On subsequent views,
clicking out of the box will return
you to the Main Bug.
Quite a number of interesting
sight sites are included on this tour,
including:
The Causeway Bug
The C-Bug's Waste Matter
Barney!
Barney's Heart
The Causeway Flotsam
Barney!
Barney's Heart
The Lump on the Antenna
The Great Swirl
The Valley of the Seahorses
Cape Coda
Close-up of Cape Code
Extreme Close-up of Cape Coda
Microscopic Complexities
of Cape Coda
If you note some repetition in the
views, please pretend you don't. In
this fractally two-dimensional world,
we need all the virtual depth we can
muster.
So -- if you will buckle your seat
belts, put your reclining chair in its
full and locked upright position, and
drink down the rest of your duty free
complimentary beverage, we will be on
our way. Please keep hands, feet,
head, and all other parts of your body
inside the Fractal Flyer at all times.
And remember, do not get up until this
program has come to a full and
compleat stop.
Have a nice tour!
