NOT YET

===Summary===

The XaoS activity is a port of a fast fractal explorer written in C with old-skool techniques.

XaoS is an interactive fractal zoomer. It allows the user to continuously to zoom in or out of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fractal fractal] in a fluid, continuous motion. This capability makes XaoS great for exploring fractals, and it’s just plain fun!

If you don’t know what fractals are, don’t worry! XaoS includes many animated tutorials that make learning about fractals fun and easy. These tutorials are also a great introduction to all of XaoS’s features.

XaoS can display many different fractal types, including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot%20set Mandelbrot], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael%20Barnsley Barnsley], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%20fractal Newton], Phoenix, and many more. Fractals can be rendered using various coloring methods and planes for an almost endless variety of images. XaoS also supports switching between [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia%20set Julia] and Mandelbrot sets for each formula.

XaoS is free software, licensed under the GPL. It was originally written by Thomas Marsh and Jan Hubicka, and it is currently maintained by Zoltan Kovacs. Countless other improvements have been contributed by volunteers around the world. You can help improve XaoS, too!

===Collaboration===

Not yet. It would be interesting (and easy) to broadcast fractal parameters over the network.
