This document specifies the current priorities of the project.

Please discuss with maintainers before adding new entries.

High priority

User-defined palettes

Allow for the end-user to specify custom palettes.

The primary problem is currently to decide how the interface should be? Lua scripts, Python, scripts, webasm...?

Magnet fractal

The fractal of the form

zn+1 = ((zn2 + c - 1) / ((2zn + c - 2))2

should be defined with the magnet identifier.

Multibrot Sets

Include more powers of the Multibrot Set fractals. Main obstacle is writing them for use with Rug. Also finish refactoring of multibrot4.

Modular factorisers

The factorisers (see benoit/src/render/render/plot.rs) could be implemented similarly to palettese, etc.

Especially the interior factoriser I am not very proud about:

let factor = data.distance; // data: RawElement

Normal priority

More fractals

Find more fractals to be added.

Requirements include:

  • New fractals should be easily recognisable and different from others
  • Although self-similar, new fractals should not perfectly repeat themselves

Rug replacement

Find a replacement for Rug, optimally a Rust-written project.

This goal depends on the assumption that floating-point operations are not necessary for us.

In the case that using floats instead of rationals etc., Rug appears to be the best solution, at the moment at least.

Low priority

Web front-end

Not currently necessary to include in the main repository. Should have the identifier benoit-web.

Interior colour parameters

Should the parameters used internally by Colour be RGBA (as they currently are) or another encoding, e.g. XYZA?
