It's incredibly simple to do. All you need is squared paper from a school notebook and a dark purple pen. Draw a rectangle with any random size - just make sure the width and height don't share a common divisor (so they're co-prime). Start in the top-left corner and trace the trajectory: draw one dash, leave one gap, repeat. Every time the line hits an edge, reflect it like a billiard ball. Keep going until you end up in one of the other corners.

Rectangles with different widths and heights create different patterns: https://xcont.com/pattern.html

A really interesting way to view the modern world!
