lovely-systems

Simple implementation of L-Systems in Lua, with examples in LÖVE2D.

Requirements

• Lua >= 5.1 (?)
• LÖVE2D (for the example project)

Running the example project

	love example

Downloading the source

Either with git clone as below or by downloading a zipball of the latest...

	git clone https://github.com/Profan/lovely-systems.git

Usage

When testing the example, use your arrow keys to change scale and segment size.

Example of defining a sierpinski triangle, example also already present in example code.

local lsystem = require "l-system"
		
initial_state = {state = {'F'}, rules = {['F'] = 'G-F-G', ['G'] = 'F+G+F'} }
fractal = lsystem.nthstep(initial_state, 2) -- recurses twice
		
-- fractal.state now holds: F+G+F-G-F-G-F+G+F, in table form.

which in turn can be used to produce:

or by increasing the iterations to 8, you can produce:

another example, a christmas tree! (sort of)

TODO

• ... write tests?
