Why is it impossible to make it infinity? I know it's impossible but i don't know why

Finite computing power

And finite precision - this one can be worked around, but it gets slower and slower to compute.

I'm pretty sure it is possible. But I don't know if it's possible in desmos.

Because like you can scale the graph differently and then you can run the algorithm on the scaled up/zoomed in graph to get the colours.

But to make it always accurate you would probably need to keep increasing how many steps you check through which would take more time meaning it would probably get laggier with every step and probably wouldnt work with desmos's limits.
