Hi,
Last week I decided to try my hand at making a fractal program, to test
some ideas. I may have come up with a new variation of the Mandelbrot.
Here are some snapshots from a few areas:

The program itself is fairly simple. It can only zoom in and reset the
view. To get different resolutions I have to recompile the code. I need
to implement antialiasing. Also the logarithmic smoothing isn't perfect
yet, but looks better than it would if I just returned the iteration steps.
I would rather just use a program already geared towards
user-friendliness, since I'm lazy when it comes to the boring aspects of
programming (Windows API stuff). Does anyone know of a good fractal
generator that lets you alter the parameters at a low, less-abstract
level? I don't mean z=z+c, but rather something like xx=x*x-y*y,
yy=x*y*2. It would have to allow me to use mathematical expressions
since I make use of min(n,n) for the more interesting fractals I've come
up with. I wonder if Fractint would allow me to do that...
