Description: Every point gets a spectral color which is like the number of loops when the sequence
Zn = Zn-1² + c
Z is a complex number, n is the loop counter and c is the constant value of the point
goes to infinity. All points which do not approach to infinity become black and are a part of the Mandelbrot set.
