Hello all,
I've released CSP on the site, but you've all had a chance to play with
it already. There's also a 64 bits Linux version available. I haven't
tested in on many different distributions, it's a bit experimental, but
you should have a go if you have (a fairly recent version of) Linux
installed on a PC and see what happens. Bear in mind it is a binary
release, it's not open source, so it won't recompile specifically for
your machine. It's Intel/AMD only.
Speaking of which, successfully compiling CSP for Linux only took a day,
because I'd already tested my code on GCC under Windows. However, making
it as fast as the Visual Studio version took much longer. I had to mess
around with many command line switches for a few weekends until I got a
satisfactory result. Then creating a package was also time consuming.
RPMs are a bit harder to grasp so I went for a Debian package. I'm not
entirely sure they're universal but it will have to do for now.
Now that CSP is out I intend to update it frequently to get to the point
where the rendering of the development version of Chaoscope is. The idea
is to improve the quality of the rendering progressively. A lot has
happened on the fractal rendering scene (Mandelbulb anyone?) since
Chaoscope was released so I have to catch up now!
To the Chinese student (872465489@xxxxxx) who couldn't download
Francois' tools, I'm afraid there's little I can do for you. The files
are available in the UK and I'm assuming in most of the rest of the
world. Maybe if you try to contact Francois directly he could help you?
Regards,
Nicolas Desprez
