Asm Mandelbrot generator

[vg]

I haven't coded in assembly since the old "DOS" days ;) so there are probably a few obsolete instructions i'm still using... Also, i was using TASM back then, so i wasn't used to .IFs, .WHILEs and .SWITCHes; but i'll use those commands next time..
I know the programming is far from perfect; it started as a small Mandelbrot fractal generator, and i couldn't help to add features (you know how it is ;) ) so some parts of the code may look a bit 'patched'.. The code for painting&updating the screen for example, doesn't look very good.
Oh and all the comments are in french ;) (Though i am willing to translate if anyone is really interested.)

But there it is, a Mandelbrot fractal generator coded entirely in assembler. The program will use the SSE2 instruction set if available. You can switch from sse to fpu by using the "M" key. "Fractale.asm" must be assembled by MASM 6.15 (SSE2 instructions aren't supported by 6.14)

I certainly will have a look at it. You may also be interested in looking at my own version which you can get from the bottom of the following page:
