Mandelbrot Fractal Demo

I've posted another demo on my website: http://sio2.g0dsoft.com

Readme from the demo:

Mandelbrot Fractal Demo for Irrlicht 3D Engine
==============================================

Email : sio2 'at' users.sourceforge.net
Website : http://sio2.g0dsoft.com

This demo is an implementation of the Mandelbrot Fractal using hardware shaders (Pixel Shader 3.0 required).

The demo can run in one of two modes: in Automatic mode the camera automatically moves/zooms between four interesting points in the fractal, in Manual mode the user can move the camera and zoom in/out manually. The modes are switched between via the Space bar. When zooming in manually the user can alter the focus in order to bring out detail that may otherwise not be visible.

The video is a good idea. I'll look into it (probably get Fraps).

I tried PS2.0 (and PS2.0a and PS2.0b) and the HLSL compiler just freaked out over it.

Xoops has a "leach guard" to stop people linking to my demos - you have to go to my site and get them. If someone goes to my site and clicks on a demo and it says "leech" then I guess it must be as Midnight says.

There's been near 5000 downloads and this is the first I've heard of this. I'll look into it.

Those leech guards check the referral adress sent by your browser, you either have a firewall or anti-virus program emptying your referral string, or you have an incompatible browser. (Or you're trying to save-as, and if you don't, try using save-as).

I have a hardware firewall and I have no problems.

You're with the same host as me, too. Do you have any problems getting at your own stuff?
