Abstract
This paper discusses the use of rewriting systems for animation purpose.
In particular, it describes the design of timed parameterized L-systems
with conditional and pseudo-stochastic productions. It proposes a formulation
to integrate the various features of L-systems into a unique L-system.
It also introduces into the symbolism a way of using vector force fields
to simulate interaction with the environment. The implementation, based
on an object-oriented methodology, is described and animation examples
are presented.
