A walk in the Lindenmayer fractal forests w/ a Kotlin notebook - Maia Grotepass

Details

Join us for the next online event on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at 10am CDT!

Some pieces of Kotlin code are better discovered through exploration. Code for a Lindenmayer system (Lsystem) is an example of this. These systems can generate beautiful organic looking fractal structures. A few small tweaks cause unexpected variety: perfect for experimentation. Kotlin Notebooks are especially suited for experimental and exploratory coding.

This talk will showcase the use of Kotlin Notebooks to draw a series of Lsystem trees. It will be a live code session in IntelliJ with a shareable Kotlin Notebook as a result.

You do not need to be a data scientist to enjoy this talk.

The audience will:

- See Kotlin Notebooks in action with the focus on reusable canvas drawing
- See an iterative coding workflow that explores code and visuals
- Learn about Lindenmayer systems
- Receive a link to the talk Notebook which they can copy and modify to continue the experiments in their own time
This talk has not been presented anywhere. It is suitable for any audience that is curious about Kotlin code and Kotlin Notebooks and is looking for an entertaining interactive coding experience. You do not need to be a data scientist to enjoy this
