I believe Warp collects these...

Personally, I have to wonder whether manually typing something 25 times 
can count as "programming". I mean, how hard would it be to just type 
out the Mandelbrot set and have the program print that? Wouldn't prove 
much though, would it?? :-P

I think all that was for the ascii halftoning. The code is indeed actually 
calculating the M set. I wonder what kind of performance impact it would 
have if I ran this on our SQL server.... I guess it would be best to run it 
on development :-P

I just ran it on my local SQL Express.  It took a few seconds.

But looking at the source, it's amazing how little I really know about TSQL.

I have a one I wrote for MS Excel. Running it reminds me of the days when we 
would try to do it in QBasic or GW Basic. Its like trying to observe a tree 
growing.

	Pretty damn hard, given you have infinite detail...

I did it with MS Excel. IIRC, I used a seperate worksheet for each 
iteration (since I don't know how to use VB). But when I tried to print 
the resulting hieghtfield... the printer queue jammed! o_O

This was back in 1997, so I guess computer technology wasn't ready to 
handle it yet or something.
