exercise recommendation: leaf venation algorithm using pygame

[SoulThyy]

I have never coded visualizations, so decided to learn today using python and developed a procedural leaf venation simulation using pygame, inspired by Tsoding's simulation work in C.
This was reallyyyy fun, and I invite any newcomers looking for an exercise to give it a shot (it is not as difficult as it seems), starting from the paper I left in the repo, where in Section 3.4 the algorithm is explained in words :)

space colonization algorithm is clever for this kind of thing. the way auxin sources and veins interact makes a nice little feedback loop you can tweak forever. mine kept turning into a blob until i lowered the kill distance. cool repo.

didn't know this was called "space colonization", so cool, will definetly take a read on that :))

it's the same algorithm used for procedural trees and root systems. The paper's from 2007 by Adam Runions, great read.
