On wikipedia I found a good pseudocode example of plotting a mandelbrot set.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set)
What I would like is something similar (either a pseudocode or a well
commented higher level language example) but with some of the
optimisation they talk about factored in.
There may be different and better methods for optimisation (than are
mentioned in that aarticle) and I'm keen to learn about them and see
how they could be implemented.

Clarification of Question by charltonian-ga on 27 Feb 2006 16:09 PST

ok for anyone interested I'll change the parameters of this question:
I've factored in the optimisation mentioned on the wikipedia page
(i.e. I look for the cardiod and the circle to its left and then look
for whether it's in the m-set.)
so...
if someone wants to claim the $20 all I need for them to do is outline
how I would implement "periodicity checking" - ideally with a
pseudocode example but failing that a clear explanation of the steps
through the process will be enough.
