I know I would be interested in it. I love things like this. A program borne of curiosity and exploration speaks to the inherent beauty of programming, being able to have an idea and bring it to life in code.

Given that you've created this, hosting it on github would be trivial for you.

Thanks for your interest. I'll stick a link to the source code files within a day or so... It's not pretty; especially the parser.
I'll also encourage you to post a link to the source, even if it's not the cleanest code. I've been thinking about trying to make something like this for a while, but using larger-scale cells from a side-on view to simulate plant growth. (To that end, I'm currently reading The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants[1], which performs its generation via L-systems.) I'd love to see how you've put this system together.
