Background

Binary Fractal Trees are built recursively, every branch has 2 branches that stem from it. This project explores the different approaches to building a fractal tree such as: recursively, using an L-System and Object Oriented model. This provides visualization of the different approaches.

Features

Fractal Trees allow:

  • visualization of trees being built through different approaches
  • Description of algorithm being used to create tree
  • Description of advantages and disadvatages to each approach

Technologies

Javascript was used to implement the creation of the tree and Canvas for visualization.

Future Features

  • Get leaves to fall from OO Tree
  • Allow user to input angle they would like to create a fractal tree
  • Add color options for leaves
