About this Experiment
An exploration of Lindenmayer systems (L-systems) for generating procedural plant and organic growth animations in the browser using Canvas API.
Technical Details
L-systems are a type of formal grammar used to model the growth processes of plant development. This experiment implements a recursive L-system interpreter that renders complex branching structures through simple string rewriting rules.
Technologies Used
- HTML5 Canvas API
- Vanilla JavaScript
- Custom L-system parser
- RequestAnimationFrame loop
