Instructions

🧩 Pick a tile

Browse the Square, Triangle, and Hex sections. Click any preset—Soft Block, Wave Strip, Chevron Point, Petal Slice, and more—to place it on its matching grid.

🔁 Choose a style (if offered)

If style buttons appear, tap one to see a different slide, flip, glide, or spin. Tiles with a single style start immediately with no extra choices.

🎨 Adjust color and scale

Switch between Single, Dual, and Palette color modes to tint the repeat. Use Repeat span to zoom the tiling and toggle Symmetry guides to reveal the hidden lattice.

Notes

🕸️ Hidden structure, simple surface

Every tile is bound to a square, triangle, or hex grid so edges always meet and patterns close cleanly. The grid stays invisible unless guides are toggled on.

✨ Limited, meaningful options

Tiles expose only one to three repetition styles, chosen from their symmetry. That keeps exploration quick, prevents broken repeats, and lets kids focus on comparing strong outcomes.

🌈 Color as rhythm

Single, dual, and palette modes highlight flow without changing the geometry, encouraging players to notice motion, direction, and balance rather than getting lost in paint choices.
