"You don't know that you need it, but when you use it once then you do"
@Lioh talks in a very nice @gnulinux podcast episode about her experience of running a tiling window manager with SXMO on the Pocophone F1 and using it as full featured, hackable, real Linux computer in pocket format! 🐧
A 6-fold mandala of a poppy seed capsule, an 8-fold mandala of goldfish and a 16-fold mandala of reflections on water mixed together into a square (p1) kaleidoscope.
My recording function still drops parts of the recorded video so I have to guess the correct length for a perfect loop. But after 17 tries, this one seems to be good.
꧁⚠️꧂ New 10.5.5 #tiling just dropped!
It's based on chunks of 4 10gons(it is inspired by ðe cairo 5gon tiling),
moving to 1 of ðe 5 closest 10gons takes 2 steps wiðin ðe chunk & 3 when leaving
ðere's also ðese quirky 5gon worms inside ðe rest of ðe structure 🥴 (unfortunately ðey have an 11θ 5gon ruining ðe symmetry)
I have a question about the aperiodic spectre tile (or the hat/turtle).
I know that the proof of aperiodicity works by showing that the tiles must fit together in a hierarchical structure that eventually repeats itself at a larger scale. But the larger units aren't literally scaled copies of the spectre. I also know that there is some freedom as to how you draw the edges of the spectre.
Is there a way you can draw the edges that allows you to literally use spectres to cover a larger copy of themselves? If so, is this way of doing it unique?
#TilingTuesday ⚠️ New shape just dropped - eS_II
(ðat's just how it's called, if we just believe),
as u can clearly 🙃 see it is made from regular 9gons & irregular 🔯 to fill ðe gaps(or 6gons + irregular 3gons)
There are few things which beats a wally close for making a great first impression. This one is in the Hyndland area of Glasgow. For those who don't know, a wally close is the communal entrance to a tenement which is lined with tiles, and often beautifully crafted ones.
