Issue Title: Enhancements for Pattern Generation UI/UX and State Management

Description

We aim to improve the UI/UX of our p5.js pattern generation tool to make it more user-friendly and efficient for designing essentiVit product patterns. The enhancements will focus on improving control, selection, and reproducibility of the patterns.

Proposed Enhancements

  1. Preview and Selection Panel

    • Implement a panel that displays small previews of generated patterns.
    • Enable users to select and focus on patterns they find appealing.
  2. Control Panel for Parameters

    • Add sliders or input fields for dynamic adjustment of parameters like the number of triangles, size variations, and color intensity.
    • Provide a more interactive and precise control over the pattern generation process.
  3. Palette Selection Feature

    • Introduce options to select specific color palettes or exclude certain ones.
    • Implement this through a dropdown menu or a visual palette selector for easier access and control.
  4. History and Undo Functionality

    • Maintain a history of previously generated patterns.
    • Add functionality to go back and save any pattern, especially useful if a new pattern is generated accidentally without saving the previous one.
  5. Save State Feature

    • Implement a feature to save the current state of the pattern, including all parameter values and selected palettes.
    • Consider saving this data as a JSON object for ease of use and retrieval.
  6. Generate from Saved State

    • Add functionality to regenerate a pattern from a saved state.
    • This allows for revisiting and modifying patterns if needed, enhancing the creative process.
  7. Enhanced Seed-Based State Saving

    • Evaluate and enhance the use of the random seed for saving candidate states.
    • Include additional parameters alongside the seed for a comprehensive state saving.

Expected Benefits

Conclusion

These proposed enhancements are aimed at making the pattern generation tool more versatile and fit for its intended purpose. The improvements will facilitate a more efficient design process, allowing for better exploration and selection of patterns for essentiVit products.
