Mandelbrot Set function crashes

i made a sim for the Mandelbrot Set function, zn + 1 = power(zn) + c
and it work but when i get to the point were the function is unstable it crashes, now i have a boolen that when true makes a wire that connects all the circles, when its false its fine(dosent crash) but when its on it does, the code works like this:
start:
building a list of circles and making there pos by the equation, and then crating a wire between the circle and the last circle,
update:
then when you move the circle it uses the already made list of gameobj to update there pos.
you can try it here:
build
github:
git
but it crashes:(, heres the code:
private void updateCircles()
{
StartUpdateCircles();

private void StartCircles()

pls help, thank you.

I looked briefly into your code and you seem to get some invalid positions like infinite / undefined from your calculations or just some positions too far away for Unity.
I could remove these by simply limiting positions to e.g.
x = Mathf.Clamp(Mathf.Pow(x, 2), -Screen.width, Screen.width);
x = Mathf.Clamp(x - Mathf.Pow(LastCircleVec2.y, 2), -Screen.width, Screen.width);
x = Mathf.Clamp(x + RedCircleVec2.x, -Screen.width, Screen.width);
y = Mathf.Clamp((2 * LastCircleVec2.x * LastCircleVec2.y) + RedCircleVec2.y, -Screen.width, Screen.width);
which simply limits all positions to some off-screen max positions

How can I add remove more number of objects at runtime?

The script is a bit long I'm not sure what I can reduce I will try.
When I'm running the program it's starting by making the square formation.
What I'm trying to archive is that at each time in runtime if I change the numberOfSquadMembers value up or down add/remove to each squad the more/less value of squad members.
Same for the numberOfSquads value.
The problem is I'm not sure how to do it in the Update() how to add more squads/squadmemebers or destroy when the values are less then the current ?

This is the script that generate the squads and number of squads members first time :
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class SquadsGenerator : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject squadPrefab;
public int numberOfSquads;
public int numberOfMembersInsquad;
private GameObject squadsParent;
private void Start()
{
squadsParent = GameObject.Find("Squads");
GenerateSquads(numberOfSquads, numberOfMembersInsquad, squadPrefab);
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
public void GenerateSquads(int squadsCount,
int numberOfMembers,
GameObject squadMemberPrefab)
{
for (int i = 0; i < squadsCount; i++)
{
GameObject newSquad = new GameObject();
newSquad.name = "Squad " + i;
newSquad.tag = "Squad";
newSquad.transform.parent = squadsParent.transform;
for (int x = 0; x < numberOfMembers; x++)
{
var go = Instantiate(squadMemberPrefab);
go.name = "Member " + x;
go.tag = "Squad Member";
go.transform.parent = newSquad.transform;
switch (i % 6)
{
case 0: ColorSquad(go, Color.green); break;
case 1: ColorSquad(go, Color.red); break;
case 2: ColorSquad(go, Color.blue); break;
case 3: ColorSquad(go, Color.yellow); break;

}
}
}
}
private void ColorSquad(GameObject squad, Color color)
{
Renderer rend = squad.GetComponent<Renderer>();
rend.material.SetColor("_Color", color);
}
}
Update :
What I have tried so far :
I added this part to the Update()
if(oldNumOfSquadMemebers != numberOfSquadMembers)
{
var tt = numberOfSquadMembers - oldNumOfSquadMemebers;
for (int i = 0; i < tt; i++)
{
var go = Instantiate(squadMemberPrefab);
squadMembers.Add(go);
}
oldNumOfSquadMemebers = numberOfSquadMembers;
FormationSquare();
}
The problem now is in the FormationSquare method :
private void FormationSquare()
{
newpositions = new List<Vector3>();
quaternions = new List<Quaternion>();
for (int i = 0; i < squadMembers.Count; i++)
{
Vector3 pos = FormationSquarePositionCalculation(i);
squadMembers[i].transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, -90, 0));
newpositions.Add(new Vector3(endpositions[i].x + pos.x, 0, endpositions[i].y + pos.y));
}
move = true;
squareFormation = true;
formation = Formation.Circle;
}
Now I'm making a new instance for the newpositions List so each time I change the number of squad members there are more members but less newpositions so at some time I'm getting out of index exception.
If I don't make a new instance for the List then it will work but then after some time it will throw the out of index exception this time because it keep adding more and more new positions to the list.
So this newpositions List I'm stuck with it. Not sure how to solve it.

C# How to zoom to cursor location using SkiaSharp control?

I have a 2D map I want to zoom in to based on the cursor X and Y coordinates. Currently I have some working code, but if I move the cursor to a new position after an initial zoom the next zoom is slightly off. I've been trying to figure this out for a while but I can't get my head around the math. Its probably something simple I just can't visualize the right way to do this.
Sample code.
float ZoomMax = 7f;
float ZoomMin = 1f;
private float[] MapPan = new float[] { 0, 0 };
private float MapScale = 1f;
protected override void OnMouseWheel(MouseEventArgs e)
{
var coordinates = panelMap.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);
if (e.Delta > 0)
{
if (MapScale < ZoomMax)
{
MapScale += 0.2f;
ZoomToMouse(coordinates.X, coordinates.Y);
}
else
{
MapScale = ZoomMax;
}
}
else if (e.Delta < 0)
{
if (MapScale > ZoomMin)
{
MapScale -= 0.2f;
ZoomToMouse(coordinates.X, coordinates.Y);
}
else
{
MapPan[0] = 0;
MapPan[1] = 0;
MapScale = ZoomMin;
}
}
}
private void ZoomToMouse(int x, int y)
{
float xScaled = x * MapScale;
float xScaled = y * MapScale;
float X = x - xScaled;
float Y = y - yScaled;
MapPan[0] = X / MapScale;
MapPan[1] = Y / MapScale;
}
private void map_PaintSurface(object sender, SKPaintGLSurfaceEventArgs e)
{
SKCanvas skCanvas = e.Surface.Canvas;
skCanvas.Scale(MapScale);
skCanvas.Translate(MapPan[0], MapPan[1]);
using(SKPaint skPaint = new SKPaint())
{
skCanvas.DrawText("Hello", 0, 0, skPaint);
}
}

This is what I came up with if anyone has a similar problem.
private float ZoomMax = 7f;
private float ZoomMin = 1f;
private PointF MapPan = new PointF(0, 0);
private float MapScale = 1f;
protected override void OnMouseWheel(MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (FindControlAtCursor(this) != map) { return; }
var coordinates = map.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);
float ScrollDelta = e.Delta * 0.002f;
float prevScale = MapScale;
MapScale = Clamp(MapScale + ScrollDelta,ZoomMin,ZoomMax);
ZoomToMouse(coordinates, prevScale);
}
public static Control FindControlAtCursor(Form form)
{
Point pos = Cursor.Position;
if (form.Bounds.Contains(pos))
return FindControlAtPoint(form, form.PointToClient(pos));
return null;
}
public static float Clamp(float value, float min, float max)
{
return (value < min) ? min : (value > max) ? max : value;
}
private void ZoomToMouse(PointF Mouse, float PreviousScale)
{
PointF TranslatedMouse = new PointF((Mouse.X / PreviousScale) - MapPan.X, (Mouse.Y / PreviousScale) - MapPan.Y);
PointF ScaledMouse = new PointF(TranslatedMouse.X * MapScale, TranslatedMouse.Y * MapScale);
PointF NewPosition = new PointF((Mouse.X - ScaledMouse.X) / MapScale, (Mouse.Y - ScaledMouse.Y) / MapScale);
float currentWidth = map.Width * MapScale;
float currentHeight = map.Height * MapScale;
float diffX = (currentWidth - map.Width) / MapScale;
float diffY = (currentHeight - map.Height) / MapScale;
MapPan.X = Clamp(NewPosition.X, -diffX, 0);
MapPan.Y = Clamp(NewPosition.Y, -diffY, 0);
}
private void map_PaintSurface(object sender, SKPaintGLSurfaceEventArgs e)
{
SKCanvas skCanvas = e.Surface.Canvas;
skCanvas.Scale(MapScale);
skCanvas.Translate(MapPan.X, MapPan.Y);
using (SKPaint skPaint = new SKPaint())
{
skCanvas.DrawText("Hello", 0, 0, skPaint);
}
}

Can I have some help optimizing this script

I wrote a infinite terrain script which works! Saddly everytime the player moves a chunk it lags for a moment. I know my code isn't great but I'm here to learn why :D

Array inaccessible only at certain times

I am currently building a parallax background effect in Unity and starting with some starter code that I'm trying to work though. The code works for the most part, with some small issues I'm slowly getting through.
I have been testing out various stats of public vs. private, etc. but can't seem to work out exactly why and where the issue I'm facing is occurring.
When I run the same script and it calls Update() every frame, I would expect to have the same size "poolObjects" length. However, when I call it with a starting pool size of 10, I get 10, then 2, then 0, then 10, 2, 0, etc.
I am truncating it but posting what I think to be relevant here. Hope you can help me see what is likely obvious!
I do see "In GetPool Object" but because the length is never > 0, I never see within the For Loop, which is essential. I can't figure out why the poolObjects length would be showing up as 0.
