The newest great discovery in tilings is already implemented in HyperRogue. So you can play infinite aperiodic Minesweeper on it, or whatever!

Here’s an interesting finding. It’s well-known that there are three pentagonal tilings which are duals of the Archimedean tilings, named Cairo, Prismatic, and Floret. Cairo and Prismatic are known to tile as a mixture. But what about all three? I can't find it in the literature.

Persian tone and geometrical tilings??? these touches every single architect bone in my body

In her talk Doris Schattschneider shared the link to the web app "[John H.] Conway's Magic Pen," which allows you to generate various tilings such as this one. She was the mathematical consultant behind it. https://t.co/yNBrgSXYWI

One of my Escher-like tilings used to illustrate a spiral principle in a joint paper headed by Peichang Ouyang, an advanced mathematician, in ‘Generation of advanced Escher-like spiral tessellations’. The paper is open access: https://t.co/ikFs0KAKIb

A glimpse of infinity.
Don't you just love nonperiodic tilings? They seem to have a mixture of order and disorder, poised at the edges of human intuition or comprehension. Source: https://t.co/LSkokHl0FI

n-armed spiral tilings of trapezoids based on regular n-gons. When n = 4 the trapezoid becomes a rectangle. Note that n = 5 is unique in allowing two distinct ways of matching adjacent scaled tiles.

Penrose tilings are examples of aperiodic tessellations – even though they only consist of a few different shapes, they never repeat themselves. https://t.co/IQKCeUTtvB

Crescents tilings work also for even numbers of edges. But for 6 a chessboard coloring ist not always possible. But with 8 it works fine.

I just added a number of eight-fold f-tilings to my fractal tilings website, some of which haven't been shown anywhere before. They're all single-prototile and edge-to-edge. See more at

I wrote an article about the random generation of tilings inspired by Sébastien Truchet, a French mathematician from the Enlightenment: https://t.co/nY61QbOnhK

Penrose Way, Peninsula Central SE10

The tiling is only inspired by Penrose tilings.

I've been adapting some of my Escheresque tessellations for use by Peichang Ouyang in code he's written to create hyperbolic tilings.
