help
each of the boxes below this are "modes", and each of the inputs configure their behaviour
the plants are made of "sprouts", which have a relative angle, and a mode.
Sprouts
sprouts are simple- a sprout is just a piece of the plant (like a line or circle)
each sprout has a mode, and the mode defines it's characteristics like size, shape, color, etc.
Modes
each plant has various "modes", which define the characteristics of sprouts with that mode
the text box, is the mode's name- this is used any time that mode is referenced
shape. all the sprouts using this mode will be rendered as the selected shape. for circles, sprouts will come out from the edge of the circle, not the center
size. for lines, this is the length, and for circles, this is the radius
size multiplier. this multiplies the size of the consecutive sprouts after this sprout
color, self explanatory
energy. whenever a sprout tries to grow a new sprout with the same mode as itself, that new sprout will have 1 less energy. essentially, this is a self-replication limit.
sprouts. each sprout of that mode will grow the sprouts under the "sprouts" dropdown. the slider defines the relative angle the new sprout will have, with the middle being 0 degrees
the "fallback sprouts" dropdown works like the normal sprouts dropdown, but instead controls what happens when a sprout tries to self-replicate but has no energy; in this case, the normal sprouts will be ignored, and instead only the fallback sprouts will be grown.
please dm me on discord if this is a bad explanation, i'm kinda bad at explainin things

weird, kinda recursive plant generator
