I have decided to do something very stupid…

Trying to create a tiled surface of spectre aperiodic chiral monotiles, in code. Generating svg…

I sure others have, but trying to solve it myself.

I am pondering a coordinate system that is a sum of integer multiples of 0.5 plus integer multiples of sin60.

OK I cannot simply place tiles randomly touching existing tiles as they can leave non tile shaped gaps.

I have to work out allowed ways to place tiles somehow.

Back to drawing board.

@revk Hmm, @Unprovable knows a thing or two about tilings :)

@henryk @revk hello hello?

@henryk @revk oh this is fun. Use deBruijn's approach for Penrose tilings - he solved some major problems by looking at permitted corners :) if you code those into your loop, you generate the right tiling. Probably. :)

@henryk @revk I think I last achieved anything like this with JavaScript embedded in the SVG. I do wonder if there's a pure markup way of doing it?

@Unprovable @henryk I am going for C to make SVG.

I'll publish if/when I do crack it.
