Kaleidoscope style: radial mirror symmetry, pieces coming out of the center, rotation and color cycling. Use it for psychedelic climaxes, mandalas, looping music visuals or when working with styles/kaleidoscope/.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Style · Kaleidoscope

Approved. Reference: `sandbox/2026-09-24-exquisite-corpse/` (climax, 18–22 s).

## Code

`styles/kaleidoscope/kit.js` → `Kaleido.draw(g, env, { source, n, cx, cy, rot, scale,
hue, sat, key })` turns whatever `source(g)` paints into a kaleidoscope: the wedge of
angle 0..2π/n around (cx, cy) is shown, repeated and mirrored. `Kaleido.beads` paints a
ring of beads.

## Style rules

- **The pieces tell a story:** use recognizable bits of what has already appeared (eyes,
  hats, blobs, the through-line), not generic confetti.
- **Hypnotic, not strobing:** global spin ≤ 0.3 rad/s, pieces at 60–120 units/s. The
  energy comes from the pulse on every beat (`scale` × `Motion.pulse`) and a hue change
  on a strong beat.
- **An unmirrored cube in the center** (the through-line) so the eye has somewhere to
  rest.
- **The wedge background: dark bands** coming out of the center, painted from largest to
  smallest.
- After `hue-rotate`, raise `saturate` (1.3–1.5): otherwise the colors get muddy.

## Style checklist

- [ ] `review.mjs` reports no **Flashes**, and the «large jumps» aren't bothersome when watching.
- [ ] Are the pieces recognizable?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add illodev/drawn-by-code/style-kaleidoscope@sha256:cdb77fe83954cd7c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.23cfbb1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
