Code from video: https://editor.p5js.org/BarneyCodes/sketches/SYf2Ull48 Mandelbrot Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set When the Mandelbrot set is visualised it produces some amazing fractal patterns. A while ago I made a Mandelbrot plotter using P5js but it was too slow to let me explore the fractal in real time, so in this video I upgrade my code to use a shader instead! The big advantage of using a fragment shader for this is that the GPU can run the code for a whole bunch of pixels all at the same time, instead of having to do them one after the other, like the CPU does and this makes it SO MUCH FASTER for this sort of code!
