Try it with 60, 90, or 120 degree rotations! Very cool.

I try with this angles (different combanitos... It was really cool

)
Anyway... I don't understand why the recursivity isn't infinite (there aren't scale down into recursivity). Why the proccess stop?

I'm guessing an overflow in the x/y coord space?

Notice that

Code: Select all

startshape A 

rule A 
{ 
  SQUARE { x 5 s 10 1} 
  A {x 3 r -0.1}
}

will draw about 1/3 circle before bailing, but

Code: Select all

startshape A 

rule A 
{ 
  SQUARE { x 5 s 10 1} 
  A {x 2 r -0.1}
}

will draw forever... Only the x offset amount in A changes.

They are shrinking. The stopping rule is based on shape area in pixels. As the map gets bigger the individual line sehments get smaller. Eventually they shrink below the stopping limit and rule expansion stops.
