i tested it a little, quite liked how the trees looked, and it seemed to 
work ok .. though i didn't quite get how the different scalings work

is this some kind of an l-system or somehow different?

have you checked out the Elysiun fora? if you want feedback from the user 
community, it might be good to post there about your work.

is that SDL app. somewhere btw?

the program is perhaps "c'ish" but that's of course fine. there seems to
be a lot of: for i in range(0, n) -like loops, which you otherwise don't
often need in Python (unlike in C), but as those seem to iterate based on
the values gotten as numbers from the GUI (right?) i suppose that's the
way for it to be. dunno if classes would be helpful somehow, see no need.

based on the code, an Italian speaking Swiss i suppose..
