In plain words

Interactive Penrose Tiles is a tool for exploring Penrose tilings, a mathematical pattern system that covers a plane without repeating. Users can interact with and manipulate these non-periodic tile arrangements on screen. The tool is designed for anyone interested in mathematics, geometry, or generative art. It appeals to students, educators, and enthusiasts who want to understand or experiment with these complex geometric patterns in a hands-on way.

    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…

  • I was curious about spherical helix, ended up making this visualization2025 · visualrambling.space · ▲865

    I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
