Every pixel needs aprox 60 iterations. Suppose that every iteration on some computer with Mandelbrot coprocessor needs one instruction. Autopilot To make XaoS yet more impressive we did special autopilot that automatically drives into interesting boundaries of set. So you should press 'A' , play your favorite music, drink coffee and relax. Many pictures in XaoS gallery are discovered using autopilot.
Autopilot has also some additional features.
It return back in case zoomed picture is not interesting anymore. Also is able to detect, when zoomed into really boring part or reached limit of floating point numbers and restart zooming. Various fractal formulas XaoS also supports other formulas than Mandelbrot set. You may change formula using keys '1' - '0' . On keys '1' - '5' are Mandelbrot sets with various power.
