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?

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.

Wow that's so cool! Wish I could turn this into a screen saver.

same here, ill do some digging once i get home and report back if i find a way.

edit: couldn't wait until I got home so I found a solution for mac users. You can use this[0] package to load screensavers from urls.
