Random Kaleidoscope Pattern Generator
Generate a randomly colored, symmetric kaleidoscope pattern — pure visual randomness, built from mirrored random shapes around a central point.

How the Random Kaleidoscope Pattern Generator works
This recreates the classic kaleidoscope effect algorithmically: a handful of randomly sized, positioned, and colored circles are generated once within a single wedge-shaped segment, then that segment is copied, rotated, and alternately mirrored around a central point as many times as your chosen symmetry setting — exactly how a physical kaleidoscope's mirrors repeat a small cluster of loose beads into a full radial pattern.
Every element — shape count, position, size, and color — is drawn independently at random, so no two generated patterns are alike, even at the same symmetry setting.
How to use it
Frequently asked questions
Why does higher symmetry look busier?
More segments repeat the same base shapes more times around the circle, increasing visual density even though the underlying randomness per segment is unchanged.
Can I export this pattern as an image file?
Right-click the pattern and use your browser's 'save image' or take a screenshot; a dedicated export button isn't built in yet.
Is every pattern truly unique?
Given the number of random parameters involved (shape count, position, size, and color for several shapes), practically speaking yes — repeats are extremely unlikely.
