you may have put the cart before the horse. calculating mp/me from pure mathematics is different than theories developed from observation.

'. . . fractional deviations in these constants are not arbitrary, but correspond precisely to the geometric cross-sections of “Sturmian worms” (topological defects) required to enforce aperiodicity.'

ugh

sigh. your probably into the Copenhagen interpretation. buhbye.

find one. I dare you.

is the number accurate or not? and minimal aperiodic tilings of the infinite plane are not uninteresting, they are related to turing completeness. whatever. how accurate is it? you tell me.

correct. sorry. fixed.

think i just fixed. made public like you suggested. face palm.

i wrote this. thoughts?

It's wildly depressing to me that in neither the linked article or the HN comments was a mention of the 'Erdos Number'. . .

Awesome concept and game idea Matt. Would be interesting to maybe add a simple 'stroke count' idea and add to scoring. I know -0zero- about painting but it might drive players to be closer to how IRL painters paint.

Anyone know many strokes it takes an average artist to get to completion? [sorry joke had to be made but really curious about answer as well].

This already gave me a better feel about what painters do, and I'm blind in the mind.

Comments about trolling the scoring algorithm seemed a little silly to me, if you folks want max score just run some sort of soft-ICE, scan the sandboxed mem and change it ;) This is a really cool idea and I love it.
