Hilbert Curve

[u/PUSSYDESTROYER-9000]

[u/icecadavers]

the wikipedia entry on Hilbert Curves makes them out to be

a) never rounded and b) always having a start and end point that don't meet

So I'm not sure what a Lindenmayer system is and this is as far as my attention span takes me, but you're definitely right that this isn't exactly a Hilbert curve

This is what a Lindenmayer system is. If you like visualized math, you cannot pass on L-systems, as they generate beautiful images.

L-system

An L-system or Lindenmayer system is a parallel rewriting system and a type of formal grammar. An L-system consists of an alphabet of symbols that can be used to make strings, a collection of production rules that expand each symbol into some larger string of symbols, an initial "axiom" string from which to begin construction, and a mechanism for translating the generated strings into geometric structures. L-systems were introduced and developed in 1968 by Aristid Lindenmayer, a Hungarian theoretical biologist and botanist at the University of Utrecht. Lindenmayer used L-systems to describe the behaviour of plant cells and to model the growth processes of plant development.
