Fractal Tree Builder

The Project

This Scratch project creates beautiful fractal trees using recursive drawing techniques! When you click the green flag, the program starts drawing a tree branch by branch. Each branch splits into smaller branches at a certain angle, with each new branch being shorter than the last by a shrink factor. The project not only draws the tree but also displays the important parameters on the screen: Angle — the degree at which branches split Length — the initial length of the tree trunk Shrink Factor — how much smaller each successive branch becomes By adjusting these values, you can create many different tree shapes—from tall pine-like trees to wide and bushy ones. This project is a great introduction to fractals, recursion, and the power of mathematics in art.
