    A Look Into L-Systems: Just Another Show & Tell

    Uploaded by

    Timothy Tan
    The document introduces L-systems, a type of rewriting system that can be used to generate fractal patterns. It provides an overview of L-systems, including their alphabet, axiom, ruleset, and how they can be used to recursively generate patterns. As an example, it shows how simple L-system rules can be used to generate fractal tree-like structures. It also discusses applications of L-systems in generating the landscapes seen in games like No Man's Sky.

    What is a
    Fractal?
    The term fractal (from the Latin
    fractus, meaning broken) was
    coined by the mathematician Benoit
    Mandelbrot in 1975.

    A fractal is a
    natural phenomenon or a
    mathematical set that exhibits
    a repeating pattern that
    displays at every scale

    So what makes an L-
    System?
    Alphabet The characters that are allowed
    in this particular L system.
    The starting point that we are

    Axiom going to begin with. We are


    going to recursively generate
    from here.
    Ruleset Which method will be called
    based on each alphabet.
