Islands in ruby processing using my grammar library

See Cesàro fractal for grammar.rb library

require 'island'

  load_libraries "grammar"

  attr_reader :island

  def setup
    size 500, 500
    stroke 255
    smooth
    @island = Island.new
    island.create_grammar 2
    no_loop  
  end

  def draw
    background 0
    island.render  
  end
end

I have developed JRubyArt and propane new versions of ruby-processing for JRuby-9.1.5.0 and processing-3.2.2
