Interactive L-Systems Flash App

I have several books that discuss Turtle Graphics and L-Systems. The book that I used to produce the app above was The Computational Beauty of Nature: Computer Explorations of Fractals, Chaos, Complex Systems, and Adaptation by Gary William Flake (see the review in my previous post).

The book doesn't contain source code (though some pseudo code). But it included a very good explanation of what an L-System parser needs to do. I combined what I learned from the book with a Turtle Graphics library that I wrote in ActionScript. The models used in the app were described in the book.

Be patient. When you click on a button, it may take a few seconds for an image to generate.
