Mycellium 1

My partner, Dorothy Zablah with a close person of hers, are founding a consultancy company. They use take inspiration on mycellium to provide facilitation consultancy. They are designing their website and it came to my mind that it would be so satisfying to create an algorithm that would simulate their growth. I thought of it as few agents containing position and angle, which would grow towards their (ever-changing) angle; and upon a certain time, they would branch out by creating a new agent that inherits their properties.

Note that if you resize the window, the drawing will get erased.

Possible improvements:

  • Fading out of existing lines, and end time of agents, so that the animation could continue endlessly
  • Gradual thinkening of older branches (perhaps using feathering + sharpening?)
