Instructions: Enter initial and final c-value (c = a + ib). The number of steps taken from initial c to final c is N, and the number of points used to draw the Julia set is M (via the Chaos Game algorithm). To begin applet press Forward (it may take a few seconds to start drawing dependig on how fast your computer is). To go backwards, press Pause and then Backward. To speed up or slow down press Faster or Slower.

The Period 1 and Period 2 buttons give paths that follow the period 1 and 2 bulbs respectively. Adjusting the value of r (radius) shrinks or expands the path. For these paths, note how the corners of the Julia sets wind and unwind as the point moves along the Mandelbrot set.



To draw the Julia set for a particular c-value, say co, simply enter co as initial and final c and enter N = 1.
