Stick Software has updated Fracture, a Mac OS X screensaver for Mac OS X, to version 1.4. The update is ready for Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”).
Fracture creates a variety of fractal images. It can render the Mandelbrot Set, Julia Sets, Self-Squared Dragons, and Attraction Basin fractals generated using Newton’s Method, Halley’s Method, and two other root-finding algorithms. It can make images using advanced fractal imaging techniques like orbit traps, periodicity analysis, and binary decomposition, and it can use several different parameterizations for even greater image variety.
Fracture is Universal Binary so runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. It runs on Mac OS X 10.2.8 or higher.
Fracture costs US$10, though version 1.4 is a free update for registered users. A demo is available at the Stick Software web site.
The “Macsimum MWSF 2007 Coupon Book” is available for download. You can find it here and print it as a PDF. It has discounts, special offers and promotions.
