Notes

A ribbon follows the pointer over a procedural paper sheet.

It renders to a texture and wraps like paper: ink on the front, paper on the back.

A feedback buffer holds the ink, then fades it back to clean paper.

Four worlds: Paper, Fireflies, Marbling and Kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscope has three looks: Glass, Mandala and Scope.
