#22This reminded me of such good memories of playing with http://weavesilk.com/ . Nice to see someone with a similar concept.
Woah. The things we can do nowadays!

#23Cool! I made a similar thing for my kids (they wanted something similar to the kaleidoscopic drawing you can do in some ‘Monument Valley’ levels https://mirror-it.staticdomains.app/index.html
Very cool. I like how it erases the oldest bit as you go along.

#24As a programmer, maths researcher, and painter, there’s certainly something satisfying (to me) when an artistically symmetrical piece observes no mathematical symmetry: The very asymmetry in the language used to describe it is, in and of itself, beautiful.
Not sure what you mean by "an artistically symmetrical piece observes no mathematical symmetry" - as in, the underlying structure has a (set of) symmetries but the 'decoration' on top is asymmetric?

#25I experimented with this concept over a decade ago: https://www.nayuki.io/page/symmetry-sketcher-javascript
I was probably inspired by mouse-painting tools in Corel Photo-Paint (like Adobe Photoshop) that have an "orbits" feature. https://product.corel.com/help/PHOTO-PAINT/540111130/Main/EN...

#26lots of fun! like etch-a-sketch, lite-brite, spirograph, paint, etc. on steroids!!

#27Feature request it would be fun to draw snowflakes but to do that there'd have to be another setting to constrain things you draw to be straight lines at just the angles that ice crystals would allow.

I bookmarked OP's link for specifically for my kid, but I think she'll much prefer your version, simpler and clearer as it is - thank you so much!
