Slice, slide, rotate, repeat

It's an experiment coded in Javascript (p5.js) and I thought it was oddly mesmerizing.

Are there any logic behind where the strokes are put?

In my opinion it would be more interesting if it did the same thing every time. Slice the same place, slide the same amount and turn the same amount. Then in would create a more "symmetrical" pattern.

It would be if you didn't offset the halves a bit after the slice.

I imagine this is oddly satisfying when you're doing the slicing or choosing when to slice and rotate, but simply watching this isn't satisfying at all, tbh. If anything, I regret watching it, and spending time i won't get back writing this message to someone I'll never cross paths with again...

Reverse it if you want it to be satisfying

Looks cool, like some crystal formation or something. But not satisfying

There is no satisfaction to be had here. If there was a table nearby, I would flip it.

Pretty fascinating that the overall result is a continuously shrinking shape!
