      It is recursively changing the angle at random and shrinking the size. I dunno if that would count as a L-system, the wikipedia article for L-system has too much math that I don’t understand

        Track down a copy of “The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants”. The last time I looked, it was available as a free PDF, too. I think it’s a great introduction to L-systems.

        I got it when it was first released and spent way too much time poring over it and generating imagery on my decrepit old computers.

        I’ve never looked at plants the same since.
