The most easy start with contextfree is by just testing out some existing designs and trying to modify them so you get a hang of how things work in contextfree.
You will find an endless number off examples in the Gallery on contextfreeart.org [link]
To get into the Details of how do things in CF you should read the documentation at [link]
I hope you will have a lot of fun with contextfree and I am looking forward to seeing what you will create

It starts eating up RAM like crazy and then when my system runs out of memory so it starts writing shape and expansion temp files. At that point my computer becomes almost completely unresponsive. I have 6 GB of RAM, is that not enough?
6 GB of RAM is fine but it will take about 20 shapes temp files to render this one and will take maybe several hours - you can however stop the render by pressing the stop button ( be careful not to press it twice "stop now" because you would loose the render result ) then it will take a while and you will see some result.
But you should maybe try out some less calculation intensive design's first
I use a neat little trick to keep the shape count down. You can add a Variable to count the depth of a recursive rule and terminate it after a certain level!
Here is a simple example:
startshape fern(1)
shape fern ( natural depth )
rule
{
SQUARE [ s .2 1 ]
if( depth < 19 ) // This determine the render depth try up to 24
{
fern (depth+1) [ y .9 x .01 s .9 r rand(-5,10) f 90 ]
fern (depth+1) [ y .8 x -.1 s .6 r rand(15,25) ]
}
}
I hope this helps you!
