I’ve been a big fan of Hexapipes since it came out last year. I also wanted to learn about Penrose tiling. So I implemented a Penrose grid for Hexapipes!
My intention is to contribute the code back to Hexapipes. Earlier this year I contributed the Cube grid as a practice run. It is a joy working with the brilliant @gereleth.
It will take some work to raise the code to the Hexapipes standard. But the game is ready to play, so I thought I’d release it at its own domain.
It is based on a new JS library for generating a random area of Penrose tiles, implementing algorithms by Simon Tatham. Demo here:

It’s a relatively easy game as Hexapipes grids go, but it has a fun loopy aesthetic. I hope others enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed coding it!
