This is both a creative toy and technical proof of concept.

Draw weird mirrored patterns that look like inkblots or geometric mandala. Or turn off the mirroring and draw anything you fancy.

It's named after the Rorschach psychological test that uses a set of inkblots. You pronounce it as Roar-shack.
