Supposedly it all started with the Romans. When breaking a mirror your soul would be cursed. Fortunately, the Romans also believed that the soul renews every 7 years. So actually, breaking a mirror brings you at most 7 years of bad luck, but I supposed the "at most" part was dropped because it didn't sound as cool.
## The Algorithm
The mirror shards are created by recursively breaking up a base shape into smaller pieces. Once the mirror is broken each shard is displaced. This is not a packing algorithm.
The texture is created using domain warped Perlin noise.
## Main Features
- 26 color palettes.
- 3 types shape groups (square, 5-10-sided-polygon, circle).
- 4 levels of 'brokenness' -- the number of mirror shards.
- 2 methods for breaking up the shards.
