The Artist's Husband: Redesigning the Hypha Structures

This post is going to be more about Rust than about art. You have been warned! As I was working on moving the Hyphae code into TAHGA Lib , I found too much complexity and repetition in what I had done before. What I was doing to modularize it for the library was making matters worse. The problem was that I needed a structure to define a hypha, a single strand that grows over time until it dies. Then I needed a structure, to define a list of hyphae (for those of you who are confused by these terms: hyphae is the plural of hypha.) The Hyphae struct would not only hold the list of Hypha instances, but some housekeeping information as well. In particular, I wanted to set various parameters there which would affect how the hyphae would grow (for example, a initial growth speed, a maximum speed, etc.) So the Hyphae structure would provide a method to generate a new Hypha struct and add it to the list of hyphae.

inconvergent has a great article about generative art, with many excellent examples of various techniques. While reading the section about Hyphae , I decided to give it a try and see what I could come up with along those lines. Hyphae (the plural of hypha) are long tendrils that grow from fungi. They grow from their tips, and will often branch new tendrils. My goal was to come up with a system to simulate their growth by following these rules:
