A little Zen drawing for a sanity/insanity break

I had a programming itch I had to scratch:

https://basicanywheremachine.neocities.org/sample_programs/Biaxial%20Symmetry%20Graphing%201.prod.run

It takes a few clicks on the canvas before things start to happen.

Wherever you click (or click-hold and drag), that will create dots that want to go to the top-right corner of the drawing area. But this has biaxial symmetry happening.

You can create some pretty neat patterns.

Yeah, I'm probably enjoying this a little bit too much ...

Beautiful!

I'd love to see the same thing with 6- or 8-fold symmetry. That would be truly kaleidoscopic!

Thanks !

Pretty bad ADHD over here, everything grabbing at my attention unless I've got one thing that grabs my attention so hard that nothing can get me to break loose.

What you suggest, that is totally grabbing me by the jugular...

I envisage an adjustable setting to decide how many points (0 to something) between the corners. Hmm....
