@Laauurraaa Oh cool! Have been wanting to do this at some time too, but I'm a bit slow and keep getting distracted 😅 Excited to see what you come up with!

@brendan This is it so far. It's nothing special yet, very basic.

You can play with it here: https://laura.fm/l-systems

https://github.com/Azeirah/L-Systems-editor

But this is just the beginning >:)

@brendan Ah. I solved it.

I had to turn off minimization and then trick the compiler into not optimizing away an important variable :)

@Laauurraaa Forgot to update you, but I managed to push some of the ideas I’ve been mulling over for the past while: https://github.com/brendanzab/language-garden/tree/main/lang-fractal-tree-rewriting

• Some thoughts: https://github.com/brendanzab/language-garden/blob/main/lang-fractal-tree-rewriting/IDEAS.md

• A binary tree example: https://github.com/brendanzab/language-garden/blob/main/lang-fractal-tree-rewriting/examples/binary_tree.ml

I still need to get around to making an external DSL and an editor though! The screenshot is just hard-coded with the code I’d like to be able to write (I can get close with the implementation in OCaml).

@brendan Ohh, interesting stuff!

What I'm aiming to work on for the longer term is making something like https://turtletoy.net but for l-systems, but also WITH parts that you can re-use too.

So it's like fun but semi-serious too!

By the way, I'm hosting a salon on this topic this Sunday, if you have time I would love for you to join and come talk about it!

@brendan The aims are to make a tool for l-systems that is

• accessible

• pretty

• fun

• reasonably useful for actual modelling

• social

@Laauurraaa Thanks for the invite! Don’t think I’ll be able to make it, but it sounds like a really cool project – I’m curious to see where it leads! I very much share your interests in nature, art, mathematics, etc. :)
