Mandelbrot-OpenGL

Description

This is a simple opengl program written in C++ that lets the user visualize and zoom in the mandelbrot set. Since all the computations are done on the gpu, the zooming capabilities are limited to the precision of doubles on the gpu.

2. Download the glad and glfw libraries. Glfw will also need to be compiled (a more in-depth tutorial can be found on learnopengl.com.
