It's neat to see what happens to rotations of shapes/patterns on a group of tessellated, regular polygons. I hadn't realised mathematicians were into that sort of thing so long ago...Truchet makes Sierpinski look relatively modern. Then-again, it's interesting to compare it with Celtic knotwork.
You really should have a look at the software a friend/housemate, Paul, writes. His blog has some interesting stuff...visually and mathematically beautiful.
Wow! His stuff is amazing! Thanks for pointing me to it. It had never occurred to me that tiles could be computationally complete. What an astonishing concept. I shall have to think more on that later.
He has a lot of other neat stuff on his site too. Gosh this is going to keep me going for ages. Now I just need a few more lifetimes to be able to absorb this and all the other coolness I keep coming across.
I am interested in his sound processing stuff too.
Neat! That GridGame on DeviantArt is entrancing... a little like John Conway's game of Life.
I love your tile game. Mucho addictive. I don't play games, but I spent the best part of half an hour on it. That is a high compliment from me. I'll have to show it to my parents. They both enjoy computer puzzle games.
