Description

A brief introduction to l-system flora can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system. For a more thorough introduction to the topic check out the text "The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants." It is available for free at www.algorithmicbotany.org. Drawing is done with an implementation of turtle graphics.

Features:

- Realistic, procedural flora

- Animated growth

- Six example plants

Changes

- Added support for stochastic l-systems (l-systems that change every time they are created)

- Added support for animating the plants in wind

I should also add that you can change the look of the trees by editing the control files. Changing the number of iterations, the angles, or the length of the line drawn will all affect the outcome.

Right, this version has only deterministic plants. You can alter their position and rate of growth by changing the properties of the turtle, though. For the next version I'll be adding support for stochastic l-systems which produce different varieties of plants each time they are parsed.
