This is fun to see on HN, which has shown a (justifiable) affection for L-systems.

I wonder if an example that is closer to the original root of L-systems (biological/botanical shapes, like trees) would be a nice addition the the initial basic examples?




Plant shapes animate particularly will. See the example about halfway through this post: http://blog.rabidgremlin.com/2014/12/09/procedural-content-g...


That's exactly the kind of rule system I had in mind, and it seems like it would fit into the scheme of the OP. Thanks.


you tend to get more tree looking structures if you crank up the rule complexity (https://ehrenjn.github.io/LSystems/lsystems.html?FADE_TIME_M...)

But if I had a way of raising the average number of square brackets per rule then it would probably end up generating a lot more trees.
