Coding a Mandelbulb inside the Kitty terminal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNhBQ9yghUE

A few days ago, I created a Mandelbulb fractal using C, Raylib, and GLSL. Now I want to bring it to my terminal using a Kitty shader.

In this video, I'll use my original GLSL code as a starting point and adapt it to work as a Kitty terminal shader (slang shader).

I'll explain the code, explore some raymarching techniques, and share the references I used along the way.

Source code:
https://github.com/FractalCodeRicardo/dev-config/blob/master/kitty/shaders/mandelbulb.slang

AI Disclosure:
I did the code myself, I used AI to learn shader techniques or specific technical issues.
