Abstract
Plants and programming are more related than you might realize! Trees, shrubs and weeds may look complex, but with the magic of recursion, we can describe them with just a few simple rules. We'll explore how we can use the recursive nature of L-Systems to create complex and natural-looking plants. And why stop at plants? We'll also see how L-Systems can be used to describe some of our favourite fractals such as Sierpinski's triangle and the Dragon curve, and how they can be used to create art.
