This is fantastic! Your code better explains the concept given at Wikipedia.

I pimped up your code somewhat as I was too lazy to keep pressing the A button to draw the fern. 🤭

It’s all mathematics! I first learned about the Barnsley Fern fractal in graduate school and I had to code it in MatLab created by Cleve Moler.

For anyone interested, read all about it in the very lesson I used [here](https://www.mathworks.com/content/dam/mathworks/mathworks-dot-com/moler/exm/chapters/fern.pdf).
