that draws exactly the same images as found on the cover of EP7. I am
really not sure whether they actually are L-systems or not, but the applet
seems to hog a lot of processing power (I have two 333MHz processors on this
Linux box and the machine starts screaming bloody murder when the applet
does its thing), so beware.
The algorithm seems somewhat similar to L-systems, but there seems to be
an order or two of randomness present. I am not sure though, as I am not
mathematically inclined...
