CLI Mandelbrot Renderer

This project is a command line Mandelbrot renderer, for either a single image or animation.

Files are output as .bmp images, and animation can be stitched using a program such as Blender.

Animation Sequence (1)

• Input number of frames for animation, eg.

How many frames?

3.bmp
...
200.bmp
