Graphing calculator.... sort of?

Hello folks,

I'm curious if anybody would be able to point me in the right direction on this. If any of you are familiar with the Mandelbrot Sets, I basically want to build a little(or big if need be) box that will output them onto a screen and allow for zoom in/out control. The screen doesn't have to be built into it, but I don't know if having it set up to output to a TV/Monitor would be any easier to handle.

I know this is likely well beyond my skill level at the moment, but I like to fail at stuff to keep me humble 

Any wisdom you guys could impart on me would be greatly appreciated.

raspberry pi and its hdmi output ?
any linux program on it to display mandelbrot sets

That's more simple than I was expecting... And painfully obvious now that you said it. 

I sometimes forget computers are tiny now 

Thanks

Definitely Pi

Software to use is xaos: https://github.com/xaos-project/XaoS

Bit more ambitious but the result should be better (i.e. fast boot, no OS needed)

Cool! Thanks a lot for the suggestions, guys. This is gonna go a lot quicker than I expected.

I also vote for using a SBC like a Pi.  There are few MCUs with FPUs and integrated graphics, and the cost in development tools and time would be grossly excessive for a one-off project.  Of the possible SBCs to use, a Pi the the most hobbyist-accessible.
