Thread: Draw tree, clouds, leaves with recursion

I am trying to use my random method to change how draw tree works but cannot figure it out. This is what i have so far.

Use pickRandom() to effect how drawTree() works. The number of branches, the angles of the branches, and the lengths of the branches will be varied randomly at each level of recursion. In my program, I varied the number of branches between 2 and 6; I varied the angles between -40 and +40 degrees from that of the parent branch; and I varied the length of a branch between 1/10 and 9/10 of that of the parent branch.

i dont know how to do this

Confused. Your post says that you did all those things but then you add that you don't know how to do "this". What in that list of things do you specifically NOT know how to do?
