Emergence Kaleidoscope
From Physical Programming
/* creating an emergence of graphics similar to a kaleidoscope Kaleidoscope on Wikipedia [1] my GOAL is to create a variable graphics inside each triangle and reflect that like an inside of a kaleidoscope so it will create some amazing graphics. So far I have managed to create different modes of the kaleidoscope
- note* instead of reflecting the object, with this method it is just rotating and duplicating the main triangle*/
// press '1' or '2' or '3' to choose the kaleidoscope mode
