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... NiM
