Diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) has attracted much attention due to its simplicity and broad applications in physics such as nano and microparticle aggregations. In this study, the algorithm of DLA is written with Python. Python's Turtle library is used to plot the aggregate on the computer monitor as it grows. The algorithm is run on the Raspberry Pi. A cheap and portable medium is created for DLA simulation. Two different options are placed in the algorithm. The first path does not allow the primary particle to turn outside of the aggregate after the collision. However, the second one allows the percolation of the primary particle both inside and outside of the aggregate. The spherical dendritic structures consisting of 500-2000 primary particles are obtained by the algori...
