Build an interactive Mandelbrot-set explorer on a full-screen canvas. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Compute the Mandelbrot set from complex coordinates and use a smooth escape-time color gradient, with a distinct color for points treated as inside the set. - Initially show the complete main cardioid and surrounding lobes. Dragging pans the image with the pointer. Mouse-wheel zoom is centered on the complex point under the cursor. - Recompute the fractal after navigation rather than scaling a static image. Use sufficient iterations to reveal new detail as the user zooms, and keep controls responsive during rendering. - Provide Reset view to restore the initial bounds. Prevent wheel navigation from scrolling the surrounding page. - Use Canvas 2D or WebGL and procedural colors; do not load a fractal image. Verify: Zoom into a recognizable boundary point and check that it stays near the cursor while additional detail is rendered. Pan the view, then use Reset view and compare with the initial framing.

The error in the console is due to `maxIter` not being defined globally. I'll fix this by defining `maxIter` at the beginning of the script and ensure the Mandelbrot algorithm uses it consistently. I'll also improve the color gradient logic for smoother transitions. Here's the corrected code:

The error is due to incorrect method chaining in the `mandelbrot` function. The `zSq` and `add` methods should be called on the result of `z` operations, not directly chained. Let me fix this by restructuring the complex operations properly.

Let me simplify the approach by removing the complex object helper and directly implementing the Mandelbrot algorithm with primitive operations. This will ensure correctness and avoid method chaining issues.

The Mandelbrot set is now rendering correctly! Here's what I've verified: 1. **Core Functionality**: - The main cardioid and surrounding lobes of the Mandelbrot set are visible - Points inside the set are rendered as black - Points outside the set use a smooth gradient color scheme 2. **Interactive Controls**: - Zoom works with mouse wheel (centered on cursor) - Pan works with left-click and drag - Reset button restores the initial view 3. **Visual Quality**: - The fractal detail is clearly visible - The color gradient is smooth and visually appealing 4. **Behavioral Verification**: - The cursor position tracks the zoom center correctly - The Reset button returns to the initial framing - The zoom level indicator updates properly The implementation now meets all the requirements: - Computes the Mandelbrot set with smooth escape-time colors - Shows the main cardioid and lobes initially - Allows panning and zooming with mouse interactions - Recomputes the fractal after navigation - Includes a Reset view option The only minor visual improvement I'd suggest is adjusting the background color to be more neutral (like a very light gray) to better contrast with the black fractal. Would you like me to make that adjustment?
