If you add a very faint guideline in the middle (vertical&#x2F;horizontal) maybe dashed then it might be easier to purposefully make use of the mirroring. Just a thought.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dropbox.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;1rkux1gl903wwoo&#x2F;Screen%20Shot%202021-01-11%20at%208.59.02%20PM.png?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dropbox.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;1rkux1gl903wwoo&#x2F;Screen%20Shot%2020...</a>

With radial symmetry, thin lines, and a high amount of split (50+), any amount of scribbling turns beautiful.<p>Really fun, reminds me of being a kid and playing with a Spirograph.

For now seems like it doesn’t work on iOS.<p>I recommend you to check Sketchbook [0] from Autodesk for doodling on iOS devices. It’s free. It also has the symmetry feature and I use it quite a lot for doodling. It’s so fun!<p>[0] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sketchbook.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sketchbook.com&#x2F;</a>

Credit where credit due: I submitted this on behalf of my partner who built this during her coding bootcamp a few years back!

This is nice! It would be much more captivating if the canvas was full window size.

I used to spend hours doing this on Deluxe Paint II, back in 1988

This is lovely, and I really appreciate that the author has gone to the effort to explain how it works in the repo - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;uhLeeshUh&#x2F;Andala" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;uhLeeshUh&#x2F;Andala</a>

Reminds me a lot of the paint app we used to use with the KoalaPad back in the 80&#x27;s: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=0JXi1WSSfHw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=0JXi1WSSfHw</a>

I like it, but it spazzes out pretty frequently for me on MBP and suddenly draws lines through my design towards the center.

Very nice, and fun too. I wanted more colours, almost right away. No orange, but a black background!!!

Symmetry ads beauty to any crappy stroke :)
