It being a Thursday, after all. Cellular automata and something else which doesn’t have a well defined name that I know of. It draws spirals. Go check it out.
Edit: Changed some constants. This program has a billion constants. The download is still the same by the way, so don’t download it again.

That might be right. Except I can’t tell if L-systems are supposed to be scale invariant. Maybe!

I ran the demo. Looks pretty impressive. I love procedural techniques

What kind of cellular automation is that? It’s so pretty…

Isn’t it? Each cell has a floating point value ranging from 0 to 1. The rule is if a cell(i,j) has a nonzero value, I replace the value of a neighboring cell with the value of cell(i,j) – k. I seed the system by setting every cell which contains a line segment to 1. It’s cool because depending on your constants, you create a pattern which expands but then dies out and becomes stable again.

[...] I found this interesting work by Dasol, it is a procedural spiral generator and he uses also some celullar automata for the background. I [...]
