This is a rework of DEHP-II. It is rendered in full 640x480 resolution and slowed down a bit so you can better appreciate the structures that appear. The colors have been changed a little, and the music in the second stage (after it pauses then starts moving again) has been replaced with "Krypton" by Technetium.

Gerolamo Cardano (1501-1576) was one of the first mathematicians to begin using what are now called "imaginary" numbers, which form the mathematical foundation that the Mandelbrot set is built upon. This work is named in his honor.
