Mandelbrot

This project combines two important mathematical ideas- the process of 'hill-climbing' and complex numbers. Turtles move around a landscape determined by a real axis and an imaginary axis, trying to maximize the Mandelbrot set.

For detailed instructions on using the program, take a look at the info window from the Mandelbrot model.
