# Generative Kaleidoscope in p5.js with LYGIA

## The inspiration for the code is this [sketch](https://www.shadertoy.com/view/ctByWz). The kaleidoscope function has options for speed of animation, level of zoom, and number of iterations, and two parameters that provide additional control. The first row shows the "kaleidoscope" look--use m = 1.75, n = 1.15. These images remind me of what you might see looking through a traditional kaleidoscope. The second row shows a "tie-dye" look--use m = 1.5, n = 1.3. In the fourth image I am using the color as a texture for the supershapeSDF, which can be found on LYGIA.

## Notes about usage

- Using greater numbers for zoom and iterations lead to more detailed colors.

- You can call the function twice with two different sets of parameters and colors to create a more complex color.

- Darker colors are better when layering.

## I am using [LYGIA](https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/lygia)'s built-in color functions add color.
