Finally, school's back in session, and I continue to develop my thesis project.
This summer I stumbled on L-system implementation, and below is the source code for a little demo (made using processing). I've been exploring the animism inherent in such systems. This current experiment does not deal with recursion per se (one of the reasons people find L-systems cool), but instead deals with variying elements of the tree-like structure. For instace, I make the branches seek the mouse pointer, like a tree's branches would follow sunlight.
Once I figure out how to embed the java applet in the blog window, you'll be able to see more than just the (incredibly messy) java code...
very interesting.... i don't know what it is but it's looking great... does it always do the same thing? it seems to do so...

hey, you should check the below link out -- I think there is source for this somewhere, but it seems like a pretty damn cool system for generating city-map like structures.
