once i was excited to daydream an algorithm to generate a picture of a maple leaf it's something i had been daydreaming since a kid, and wasn't sure how to do (one more general than i was used to, that reflected the underlying structure)
but when i went to implement it, something came over me and i drew it by hand instead. i've now mostly forgot it. it was a really great hand drawing of a maple leaf though!
it's sadly not very useful to draw the instance of an algorithm they're designed to stick around and be reused a lot it is simpler to copy a leaf to draw one, less harmful to the cognition
i could never draw anything when i was young. --- parts were pointing out the writing is like that; [that it's kind of like a mutation of old daydreams for algorithmic adventure games
