cli-mandelbrot

The tool renders the Mandelbrot set directly in a terminal window, allowing users to explore the fractal without a graphical interface. It displays an ASCII‑style image that can be panned with the WASD keys, zoomed in and out using R and F, and refined by adjusting the iteration count with T and F. A help overlay can be toggled, and the session can be exited with O.

It is distributed as a Node.js package that can be installed globally via npm, and it runs on any system with a compatible Node runtime. The command line interface is the sole entry point, making it suitable for developers who want a quick, lightweight way to view and navigate the Mandelbrot set from a shell.

The project is maintained on GitHub, includes automated build status badges, and follows standard npm publishing practices. Source code, issue tracking, and contact information are provided through the repository and the author’s npm and personal pages.
