Team Members:
Gareth Williams-- The team leader and wrote the SVGA (1024x768x256)
routines and helped in writing the fractal routines.
Mark Greshammer-- Did the research for the fractals and wrote initial code and algorithms for the fractals. Also wrote FPU routines.
Introduction:
The goal for our project was to display some fractal using high resolution
SVGA graphics (1024x768x256).
Problem Description:
The first problem we ran into was displaying anything to the screen at such a high resolution. The problem came into affect because of the 64K limitation. To work around this we divided the screen into different banks which were each 64K (there were 12 banks in all to cover the SVGA screen). Next we needed to figure out a way to handle complex arithmitic. There was also the decision on whether or not the use the FPU.
