In plain words

Animating Randomized L-Systems is a web-based tool that generates and animates procedural plant and fractal structures in real time using L-System algorithms with randomization. It is designed for anyone interested in generative art, mathematics, or natural pattern creation. The tool allows users to watch organic-looking forms grow and evolve dynamically on screen, making abstract computational rules visually engaging.

Clicking anywhere on the visualization will bring up a menu with a bunch of sliders you can use to change how the L-Systems are generated. Clicking off the menu will make it disppear. Using the menu you can control the following parameters: Angle randomness : 100% angle randomness means all angles are randomly chosen from between 5° and 180°. 0% angle randomness means all angles are chosen from a pool of around 10 "nice looking" angles (such as 90°, 20°, etc) If you want to share your current settings you can click the save settings in url button at the bottom of the menu and it will change the URL of the page to one that includes all the current parameters.
