WebGL fractal renderer

Available at: https://decklynkern.github.io/refractal

This is a long-term project of mine to create the best fractal renderer available online. It is intended to be:

• Fast
  • Uses WebGL for GPU-level performance
  • Shaders make heavy use of the preprocessor to only compute what is necessary and minimize branches
• Easy to use
  • Automatic redraw of the canvas (and recompilation if necessary) when parameters are tweaked
  • Settings are organized by category for each fractal type
• Feature-loaded
  • Currently 5 different fractal "programs" supported
    • Escape Time (Mandelbrot, Burning ship, Julia set, etc.)
    • Lyapunov (AKA Markus-Lyapunov if that's your thing)
    • Root Finding (Newton, Halley, etc.)
    • Recursive
    • Pendulum
  • Plently of knobs and switches to play with
  • If a feature isn't available, chances are I am thinking or have thought of adding it
