I use the following Mandelbrot program as a benchmark. It runs in a 
console screen. But I agree a high-def deep-colour version is much more 
interesting.

// by Erik Wrenholt
#include <stdio.h>

#define BAILOUT 16
#define MAX_ITERATIONS 5000

int mandelbrot(double x, double y)
{
     double cr = y - 0.5;
     double ci = x;
     double zi = 0.0;
     double zr = 0.0;
     int i = 0;

     while(1) {
     	i ++;
     	double temp = zr * zi;
     	double zr2 = zr * zr;
     	double zi2 = zi * zi;
     	zr = zr2 - zi2 + cr;
     	zi = temp + temp + ci;
     	if (zi2 + zr2 > BAILOUT)
     	    return i;
     	if (i > MAX_ITERATIONS)
     	    return 0;
     }

return 0;
}

int main (void) {
int x,y;

for (y = -39; y < 39; y++) {
     printf("\n");
     for (x = -39; x < 39; x++) {
     	int i = mandelbrot(x/40.0, y/40.0);

     	if (i==0)
     	    printf("*");
     	else
     	    printf(" ");

     }
}
return 0;
}
