  2. Wang Tiles • Rules • Tilings are assembled by matching like edges • Tiles cannot be rotated • In 1961 Wang asserted that no aperiodic set of tiles exists, i.e., a set that • COULD tile the plane • could NOT tile it periodically • He was wrong, but still got to keep his name on them • Aperiodic sets can be used to • Simulate Turing machines • Act as life forms in science fiction (“Wang’s Carpets” by Greg Egan)

  3. Wang Tiles – not new to CG • Jos Stam • Showed the use of aperiodic tile sets for texture assembly

  4. Wang Tiles – not new to CG • Jos Stam • Showed the use of aperiodic tile sets for texture assembly • Neyret and Cani • Used triangular tiles with coded edges to assure continuous texture

  6. Wang Tiles

  7. Wang Tiles • We introduce non-periodic tilings • set can trivially tile the plane periodically • simple stochastic algorithm → non-periodic non-periodic aperiodic

  8. Wang Tiles • 2 colors = 8 tiles • 3 colors = 18 tiles • C colors ? 2 x C2

  9. Why Wang Tiles? • Once you fill a set of Wang Tiles with stuff • You can create as much of that stuff as you want for almost free. Free stuff! Free stuff! Demo
