There are only 3 fountain pen inks used here and it was amazing to be able to have so much color tones thanks to ink blending. There will definitely be more of this!

This implements &quot;A local cellular model for snow crystal growth&quot; paper by Clifford A. Reiter (2004) in Rust language, and renders it as a physical pen plot.
This cellular automaton is so chaotic that the generator will run multiple simulations in parallel and select one to be chose.
I have refined the original cellular automaton with some local effects that will make the propagation varies (using a perlin noise) and will also spawn at random locations.
The rendering is using my &quot;worms filling&quot; technique that allows to fill the space with strokes, in a manner that also contributes to the frost visual effect.
I&#39;ve been having so much fun exploring this algorithm, which isn&#39;t so complex but yield very interesting patterns.
