• Flora’s L-system code is based on the code in Chapter 8.6 of Daniel Shiffman’s The Nature of Code.
• Many of the specific L-system algorithms are based on code from Paul Bourke’s L-System User Notes.
• Bandsaw, a bandpass-filtered sawtooth engine is based on SuperCollider code for a marimba presented by Eli Fieldsteel in his SuperCollider Tutorial #15: Composing a Piece, Part I.
• The code for this project was also deeply inspired by the following members of the lines community: Brian Crabtree (@tehn), Dan Derks (@dan_derks), Mark Wheeler (@markeats), Tom Armitage (@infovore), and Tyler Etters (@tyleretters).
