An interactive take on Lindenmayer systems. Adjust the formula and sit back as simple recursive instructions blossom into intricate, organic fractals.


L-Systems are rule-based algorithms originally created by Aristid Lindenmayer to model how plants grow.

This project explored that idea further in an interactive form. Players have the ability to tweak the ruleset, angle, length, and variance, and observe how it quickly flourishes into ferns, bushes, and trees that feel surprisingly alive.
