L-systems

Rules

F will step forward and draw a line.

f will step forward and not draw a line.

+ will turn right.

- will turn left.

[ will put current position and orientation on the stack.

] will set current position and orientation based on topmost entry on stack which is then removed.

Any other character can be used in the rules but will be ignored when drawing.

Tip for better visualization

Make a new custom terminal profile and set its fontsize to 1 (Menu->Preferences->Profiles). Then you can switch between the default profile and the new one to have "more pixels" on one page.
