Lyapunovia 0.10
----------------------
June 12th, 1997: Lyapunovia is a fractal program for the BeOS. It displays a fractal called Lyapunov Space, with some additions for morphing.
The program adjusts itself to utilize the number of CPU's in your system. This has not been tested on Intel.
It's the kind of small toy which lends itself to be released early on in the history of an operating system. Here.

April 8th, 1998: I did have to change one line of (faulty) code, but now we're on Intel.
The monster is gone.


Lyapunovia is freeware.


Instructions
-----------------
Simple:
Zoom with your mouse, zoom out by clicking with shift down. Drag the sliders to morph.


History
-----------
It's strange to be back, touching the same code again after 5 years.
This is a modest BeOS version of a fractal program of mine called Lyapunovia. A fairly successful shareware program for the Amiga, Lyapunovia was originally released in December 1992, after which I gradually expanded it for a few years only to completely forget about it. With good reason: Lyapunovia died as 200k of undocumented and unstructured 68K assembler. So it goes.
Now things have changed a bit. The BeBox has two processors, great. I'm writing everything in C++, must be getting old.

My Intel machine actually isn't but a 200MhZ K6 which is kind of cool but may come free with
your cereal in a few years time.
