Mandelbrot
Godbolt does Python! (And lots of other languages...)
Python
import cmath
# Calculate if each point in an x-y plane "escapes" the shape
for y in range(-10, 10):
for x in range(-40, +40):
# Initialise the calculation
z = 0
# Create a complex number based on current coordinates
# Note the fudge factor of 2 because characters are taller than high
c = complex(x / 20.0, y / 10.0)
# Check if calculation remains bounded (stays on the page)
for _ in range(30):
# THE IMPORTANT BIT!
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set
z = pow(z, 2) + c
# These numbers can get pretty big very quickly
# So quit the loop if the result is already off the page
if abs(z) > 2:
break
# Print this point
print(chr(int(abs(z) <= 2) + 32), end="")
# Print a New line at the end of each row
print("")
