Click the canvas for a new pattern seed
This simulator rebuilds a kaleidoscope's optics with pure 2D math: the plane around the center is sliced into equal wedges, each wedge is mirrored onto its neighbors, and layered rotating wave patterns are evaluated once per wedge so the whole canvas locks into a single evolving mandala. Adjust the segment count, evolution speed, layer complexity and color palette, or click anywhere to reroll the underlying pattern seed for an entirely new motif.
