Lindenmayer

Lindemayer is a web app that renders fractal curves generated by L-systems. The server, written in Go, draws the curves by outputting SVG data. The UI is responsive and uses CSS Flex Box Layout, so it will not work in old browsers. The app allows you to customize the depth of recursion, stroke thickness, and stroke colour.
