rusty-vegetation

Graphical Rust program that uses a fractal algorithm to draw a "tree" of sorts.

To Build and Run

On Linux:

1. Install build-essentials or the equivalent.
2. Set up Rust using the following:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
rustc --version

3. cd to the rusty-vegetation root directory, then build and install it by running:

cargo build
cargo install --path .

4. Run the program:

rusty-vegetation 1 75 9 0.000651041666667 0.0009765625

On Windows:

1. Install the Visual C++ 2019 Build Tools (command-line), or else full Visual Studio 2019 including C++ workflow.
2. Install and run rustup, such as using Chocolatey.
3. cd to the rusty-vegetation root directory, then build and install it by running:

cargo build
cargo install --path .

4. Run the program:

rusty-vegetation 1 75 9 0.000651041666667 0.0009765625

Command-Line Arguments

The command-line arguments to the program are, in order:

• The number of trees to generate (effectively limited to 1 at this point)
• The percentage fill factor to use (0-100)
• The fractal level to use (7-9 is a good range)
• The horizontal scaling factor to use (try 1 / 1536, or 0.000651041666667)
• The vertical scaling factor (try 1 / 1024, or 0.0009765625)
