Folks, An updated version of SDL Fractint has been uploaded to www.fractint.net. Fixes include: Fix to reduce CPU utilization when on text screens. Fixed the Plasma Fractal Type (again), so a non-standard fractint.cfg does not cause a crash. Look in the directory at: https://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ For: Windows version (32-bit) is: SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2024-12-09.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2024-12-09.tar.xz Jonathan

Random Fractal of the Day script
by Richard 24 Jan '25

24 Jan '25

Hi, I've created a little PHP script that will return to you a random Fractal of the Day. You can see it in action on my fractals page: <https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/>. Every load of that page shows a different random Fractal of the Day, with appropriate links to the image, parameter file and FotD archive main page. The script is located at: <https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/random.php> The script can return a random FotD, or a specific FotD can be obtained with the '?id=N' parameter where N is the id associated with the entry. (The id may not be stable over time as new images are added, so be forewarned.) The id returned for a random result is embedded in an HTML comment. Example HTML result:  <a href="https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/2008/11/2008.11.27-Outwar…"><img src="https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/2008/11/2008.11.27-Outwar…"></a><br/> <a href="https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/index.html">Fractal of the Day</a>, 2008.11.27<br/> Outward Bound (<a href="https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/2008/11/2008.11.27-Outwar…">parameter file</a>) The script can also return results as JSON by accessing 'random.php/json' or as markdown by accessing 'random.php/md'. The HTML output is the default and may be suitable for embedding in your web page as an <iframe>, but better results may be obtained by getting the JSON and using a little script to insert the elements as iframes are kinda hacky and messy. I created this to scratch my own itch, but maybe you find it useful too. -- Richard -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals-wiki.org> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> Legalize Adulthood!
