mbcanvas

This is a simple Mandelbrot Set viewer written in Typescript and using the HTML5 Canvas. The viewer allows you to view the set and to zoom in, zoom out and rotate the color-table. Points that are determined to be in the set are shown in black and other points are colored based on the number of times they were squared before "escaping" the set.

You can play with the viewer here: http://rollerweblogger.org/mbcanvas/ and if you want to hack around with the source code the follow the instructions below.
