Instructions

=LindenmaKer -- Create Fractals! (like, a pun on LindenmaYer) GIGO & Use ***TURBO MODE please. Mute it if the sound glitches (it shouldn't). ==How to use [READ THIS] ① Edit the production rule by clicking the little boxes with F, -, + and X (aka backspace) on them. This production rule is what generates the drawing in the basic shape box. ② Change the angle and iterations by clicking the e (for edit) next to their variable boxes. Change the unit length by intervals of 5 with the left and right arrow keys. ③ Relocate the origin of the fractal and/or its basic shape (the red circle) by simple dragging it within its domain to where you want. Press the a key to adjust the starting angle of your fractal (aka make it point towards your mouse), and press the space key to reset that angle. ④ Press the number keys 0 through 9 to get a preset fractal. Press r to get a random fractal. You can share your own fractal by commenting :-) I love to read comments btw so feel free to tell me whatever. ==PS some unpossible things Changing the axiom isn't technically necessary (as demonstrated by my quasi-Sierpinski Triangle), but if you want, it is possible to go inside to the sprite called 'genius' and edit the axiom there. I heavily debated adding another variable G, or X, but ended up not adding it because workarounds are possible. It's more fun with just one variable, too. I also didn't add brackets [ and ] because what happens if you add a [ but not a ]? I didn't really want to do those because they're only for the really complicated Lindenmayer systems. You can still have fun without them.

Description

After seeing @griffpatch's GriffScratch, I remembered how much I like Scratch projects which let you use creativity. So I made this: a project which lets you create your own simple Lindenmayer System! Hopefully by playing with this you can discover a few fun fractals lol alliteration), and learn more about how Lindenmayer Systems work. I noticed, when my Lindenmayer Systems studio got featured, that a lot of people had trouble understanding them at first. Maybe this project will help explain things a little bit. I had A LOT of fun creating the 10 preset fractals! (I had just a lot of fun creating this project in general!!) lol I only included #8 because it looked like the windows logo. Hopefully this project will be just as easy to use for you as it was for me :-) Oh and also, here are some similar projects: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1360458/ and https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11504195/ which I really really like.
