I'd love to get a look at your implementation, this sounds brilliant. What do you feel for you through the challenges? More porting, or navigating the core?

I'm afraid the calculator with the code is long dead - but really was a very simple (and very slow) straightforward renderer in whatever the horrible Casio basic programming language was called.
As I recall I first implemented a simple zirpenzky gasket - and then wrote a renderer for the Mandelbrot set. Took only about 5 to 8 hours runtime to do a black and white Mandelbrot...
I was reading a brilliant book at the time, which I've since donated to a school library (and i fear they in turn threw it away) - can't find the exact book now, I think maybe it was called "A walk through modern mathematics" or something like that. Came out in the 90s and had a bit about various chaos theory stuff in it.
