i'm crazy about plants and i'd like to make a small widget for my desktop to simulate a plant which would grow in realtime .

The fact is i'm not that good at designing algorithms and i don't know where to start to be able to simulate my plant growth from the seed to an adult plant.

the simulation should be able to generate branch, section and finally flower.

I would like to start with a very common plant such as a geranium .

i plan to develop it in JS with threejs ( threejs.org )

Answer 1

You could draw some inspiration from the fibonacci sequence.
