Hello, Paul - I had considered implementing a high-performance Windows adaptation of Fractint, but have been too occupied with schoolwork to start something of such a scale. Personally, I would recommend against the use of MFC. I would tend to use raw win32 calls along with the DirectX API to create this project (if we do it, we may as well do it correctly). If you have any source code, even in its most preliminary form, I would be more than glad to look at it, and perform some coding here and there. Tell me what you think! - Greg Toombs --- Paul <pdeleeuw@deleeuw.com.au> wrote:
Hi Team,
I have decided to delay the development of a WINFRACT application as it is too daunting at present. I am studying MFC (Microsnot Foundation Class) libraries and C++ as a possible way for the future. In the short term however, I am putting a lot of effort into upgrading ManpWIN, my WIN32 bit, true colour program based on the original WINFRACT and my early DOS mandelbrot program MANP.
I see this as a parallel development to FRACTINT and I am happy to share sources and ideas wiith the team.
The latest executable can always be found at http://www.deleeuw.com.au/download/manpwin.zip
I am currently working on ManpWIN being able to interpret script files to develop a series of PNG files for animation. This should be available in a few days.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Paul de.
