I saw this beautiful tree somewhere on the internet and got immediately inspired...
"Fractal tree" (tree.c, 47 lines of C code.) (source)
... to make the same tree in OpenJSCAD! (spoiler: it partially works)
I ported it, then generated the following portion of a tree before node.js ate up all my RAM and crashed...
"Recursive tree with a Depth of 5" (RecursiveTree.jscad, 49 lines of JavaScript.) (source)
Then I made an iterative version using array-based recursion that uses MUCH less RAM ...
Here's a web-generated tree with a Depth of 4 that uses only a few hundred megs of memory:
"Iterative tree with a Depth of 4" (tree.jscad, 44 lines of JavaScript.) (source)
And another similar tree, loaded into Cura.
"Iterative tree with a Depth of 4" (tree.jscad, 44 lines of JavaScript.) (source)
I attempted to generate the tree with a Depth of 5, as in the original. However, it failed twice, each time after about five hours computing and using all the (gig and a half) of memory I'd given node. (treeDepth5.jscad, also 44 lines of JavaScript but won't terminate properly, for me. YMMV)
