Click the GO button to create one generation of branches. The branches have different colours depending on the direction into they grow. This creates very beautiful and surprising images and structures. At the end of each branch is a 'bud' from which new branches will sprout in the next generation. In some piece sets the buds look identical to the other elements in a branch.

Click RUN to automatically create as many generations as possible.
Click a number at the left border to increase the length of a sprouting branch. There are seven numbers for the seven directions a new branch can sprout to. The number on the centre top denotes the length of the branch in the direction of the old branch it grows from. The other directions are to be read relative to this old direction.
Click the green bar next to a number to decrease the length of the sprouting branch.
Click the CLEAR button to erase all items from the board.
Use the keyboard DELETE button in conjunction with a mouse point-and-click to remove item from the board.
Click GRID to switch a help-grid on and off.

Click empty from- and to-positions on the board to draw a line in one of eight directions.
Click any piece on the board to turn it clockwise by 45 degrees.
Click the 'DROP BUD' button to randomly drop a bud onto the board.
Click the 'STYLE' button to select one of ten fixed branching types (sets of 7 numbers).
Hit the 'SLOWING' button to slow down the lengths of the branches by one unit in each generation.

There is no win-message in this game.
Note that there are 16 alternative piece sets available. Try them out!

The variants show some particularly interesting structures. In the second set of variants the branch lengths are reduced in each generation.

Two variants show a board with a permanent grid. (If you switch on the grid on in the others variants, you cannot write a readable zsg file).

Be patient; the game takes a while to load.
