Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…

I’ve been a big fan of Hexapipes since it came out last year. I also wanted to learn about Penrose tiling. So I implemented a Penrose grid for Hexapipes! My intention is to contribute the code back to Hexapipes. Earlier this year I contributed the Cube grid as a practice run. It is a joy working with the brilliant @gereleth. It will take some work to raise the code to the Hexapipes standard. But the game is ready to play, so I thought I’d release it at its own domain. It is based on a new JS library for generating a random area of Penrose tiles, implementing algorithms by Simon Tatham. Demo…
