All aboard as I attempt to simulate the artistic process of paper marbling. The algorithm is based on the paper 'Mathematical Marbling' by S. Lu, A. Jaffer, X. Jin, H. Zhao, and X. Mao. The code is written in JavaScript using the p5.js library.
This multi-part coding challenge is part of the first week of my course: "Intelligence and Learning." Here I attempt to implement a classic data structure: The Binary Search Tree.
In this third installment of my series on algorithmic botany, I discuss L-systems and how they can be used to generate trees and other fractal patterns in p5.js.
More algorithmic botany! Another way to generate a fractal tree is to consider every part of the tree an object, so that we can apply forces and attributes to all the branches and leaves and more!
