Update 2022-05-03 to SDL version

Folks, An updated version of SDL Fractint has been uploaded to www.fractint.net. Fixes include: Fixed palette editor font. Fixed prompt/tab screen borders when a fractal type or formula has no parameters. Enabled orbits window. Fixed sound routines so emulation of PC speaker works and turns off when sound=no is used. Fixed functionality of orbitsave=yes/no/sound so that it will now turn off when orbitsave=no is used at the command prompt screen <G>. Note that I did not get the PC speaker emulation to reproduce the screech that you get in the DOS version when the orbit delay is too short. The sound skips, instead. The click due to the square wave cutting off when the note is ended is faithfully reproduced. The Advanced Sound Control features are not implemented. Look in the directory at: https://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ For: Windows version (32-bit) is: SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2022-05-03.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2022-05-03.tar.xz Jonathan

Looking through the holes in a piece of intricate lace at variously colored, parallel, metallic tubes in the far distance.

An interesting composition from Albrecht Niekamp again - with the very appropriate title: "Games Colors Play". When I first glance at this fractal, my brain momentarily interprets it incorrectly as a spiral. When looking more closely, I always find that it's not. The overall effect is a little like looking through the holes in a piece of intricate lace at variously colored, parallel, metallic tubes in the far distance.

Albrecht's fractal in this post is a 90-degree rotation of a zoom into the previously posted: "The Atomic Mandel" https://bit.ly/57508X22-GIF Albrecht says this... "This is the central Mandel I talked about, in a very complex environment still needing to be explored." ...about this post's fractal. Here's today's zoom into that previous post's fractal: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This fractal's file is named "ATOMANDE.GIF," which I'm guessing is a 8-letter DOS shortening of "Atomic Mandel." This rendering of the fractal is a generous 1280 x 1024 pixels that allow for close inspection of its features. I still like these images' overall blue tone with red and gold accents. There's a hanging feature in the upper left and right corners (and repeated elsewhere) that looks like it could be fun to explore... https://bit.ly/Atomic-Mandel-Zoom Since today's image is just a rotation and modest zoom of a previously posted fractal, it effectively shares the same PAR file: "The Atomic Mandel" PAR file: https://bit.ly/57508X22-PAR P. S. What looks to be the same (or similar) hanging feature is also present at 11 o-clock and one o-clock in: that previously posted fractal:... https://bit.ly/57508X22-GIF - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

My hacked server at emarketingiseasy.com has been certified as cleaned and is back online! Please let me know if you have any problems accessing fractal images on it. Thanks! I have a few recent images of Albrect's I plan to post soon. Sorry for the interruption.
