Subject: [ruby-talk:25300] ANN: Ruby Fractal Life Engine

Rubizens:

Flea is a complete rewrite of the R3 Fractal engine LPARSER (based on the 
book /The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants/) into this newsgroup's favorite 
language.

Via x-povray, it paints stunning pictures of plants, arthropods, and weird 
twisty things.

The source is here (CVS access only):

     http://sourceforge.net/projects/flea

This page boasts a sample of its output:

Of course I have tested the snot out of flea (with RubyUnit, natch), but 
only on one platform. I would take any bug report very seriously.

Let's see who can author a beautiful new .flea file first ;-)
