       | Awesome! A few years ago I made some physical Penrose tiles out
       | of wood & magnets, this will help me come up with some new
       | designs to make with them :)

       | Are any of these actual Penrose tilings?

       | Kudos to aatishb. I've been fascinated by this generations since
       | approx 1995 when there was a webpage at a university with webcgi
       | script to transmit the params to a server to render a .gif. I've
       | read many explanations since then, but it's only this time around
       | that I get it!

       | probably aperiodic tilings such as the one featured at

       | 
       | So, me, opening the OP link: "OH MY GOD!"
       | 
       | Has anyone actually tiled any portion of their property with
       | something like this? If so, you have my envy
