Penrose Regular Tiling

Switch to 3D XML Player  |  3DVIA Player
Description

Experiment with constructing geometric shapes which could be used to build Penrose tilings.
The hard part was figuring out how to divide a circle into fifths. The angles in the tilings are based on 360/5 = 72 degrees.
The tiles don't work perfectly. IE, they cannot always be "connected" to into a larger tiling.

It looks a lot like the classic video game Qbert could be built on this? =)
