- Does anybody have papers or info on Penrose tiling?
- That's a non-periodic method of tiling the plane invented by Roger Penrose in
- the mid-`70's. Does anybody have a program that will generate penrose
- tilings or detect when it is impossible to continue the current growth
- pattern of a tiling and backtrack appropriately? If there's enough interest,
- I'll compile a bibliography and post it.
