Kaleidoscope — mirror drawing tool

Kaleidoscope mirrors every gesture into a perfectly symmetric mandala. Drag your finger or mouse and the stroke is reflected N times around the center, alternating mirror axes. The hue of the brush rotates as you draw, building rich rainbow patterns out of the simplest motion.

How to play

Just drag. Adjust the number of folds (3 to 16) with the slider — fewer folds give airy patterns, many folds give dense rosettes. PNG saves the image, Clear wipes it.

Why it's satisfying

Mirroring is one of those magical tricks: a single random scribble becomes a mandala instantly. Your brain reads the symmetry as intentional, even when you have no plan. Five seconds of drawing produces something you'd hang on a wall.
