Render quality of the fractal

The quality of the fractal depends on how many pixels you have in your terminal, if you want to display more pixels, on most terminals you can do so with ctrl+- or by scrolling the mouse wheel.

Note: The more pixels you display in your terminal, the slower the rendering will be
