L-System Explorer

Wikipedia says a L-System or Lindenmayer system is "a parallel rewriting system, namely a variant of a formal grammar (a set of rules and symbols), most famously used to model the growth processes of plant development, but also able to model the morphology of a variety of organisms. L-systems can also be used to generate self-similar fractals such as iterated function systems."

L-System Explorer is "a program that allows you to design or view Lindenmeyer Systems. L-Systems are simple string-based commands that allow various shapes to be drawn. The interest in Artificial Life is that they can create very life-like tree structures from simple commands."
