I've made a sourceforge page, so any new releases will come from there.
You can find 1.2 HERE
Fractal gen is a small project I did when I went sleep over at my friends house. It uses tutle graphics to draw L-System fractals. I havn't really had the time to write a full readme, but this should help you get started. The best way to learn and have fun is through experimentation anyways.
Your atom string is also known as the first order. In the second order, each f token is replaced by the f string, each x by the x string, and y by the y string. The -s and +s are simply tacked on while parsing. so if you have:
A: fx
F: f--f+f+f
X: y
Y: f++f
your first order would be the atom fx, the second would be f--f+f+fy, third would be f--f+f+f--f--f+f+f+f--f+f+f+f--f+f+ff++f You can see this fractal in the image below with an angle of 60.
Each + increases your direction clockwise by the angle amount. - decrease it. Each token that is influential, controlled by the 3 checkboxes, will draw a line forward by length units in the current direction.
Pressing the S button saves the current state of the program in a string which you can paste to share your creation easily. If you copy this string and press the L button, your program will be configured exactly as your mate's was. To recreate the image below, copy this string and press the L button: fx,f--f+f+f,y,f++f,6,4,60,t,f,f
Please enjoy the program, and PLEASE give feedback. Feel free to tell more any features you think it needs. Also feel free to post your creation here in both image and string form. This allows others to load up your fractal and tinker with it.
