Generate an animated Julia set fractal based on prime numbers.
I was curious if I could make fractals with them.
Just install the dependencies then run from the terminal, I've provided a bunch of examples.
This is just a first tryout script, but there's lots I can still do with it. For example instead of changing the parameters in the code itself, I could ask the user to input them. And of course I can expand to different fractals or prime number sets, ...
But as this small script works perfectly as it should, I felt ready to upload it. The example output gifs are also quick tests, I havent spent much time yet in trying to get real good looking results.

Besides changing the numbers you can change the graphic output colors and such by changing these settings in the script:
