ITCS 4102 Group 2: The Strongly Typed

Generate an image of the famous Mandelbrot set fractal using SDL2.

Requirements

You will need Haskell's cabal build system. The easiest way to set up Haskell is with GHCup.

After you have GHCup installed, you will need to run ghcup tui and make sure you have GHC 9.2.8 base-4.16.4.0 installed and selected for use.

You will also need SDL2 from your system's package manager. For Arch:

sudo pacman -S sdl2

or for Debian-based:

sudo apt install libsdl2-dev

Usage

To build:

cabal build

To run:

cabal run
