Implement Lindenmayer-Systems for generating vegetation, texture overlays and world geometry #156

Open aschaeffer opened 9 years ago

Using L-Systems we can:

generate trees and other vegetation
generate 2d patterns for use as texture overlays
generate world geometry like labyrinths or even whole cities
