Tiling the Plane - What are Wang Tiles?

Understand the concept of tiling a plane by arranging regular tiles in a systematic manner, creating visually pleasing patterns. Additionally, get introduced to Wang tiles, a fascinating method that employs specific rules for tile placement, resulting in captivating, non-repetitive designs.
Wang tiles are a type of square tile that are used in computer graphics and mathematics to create complex, non-repetitive patterns. Named after mathematician Hao Wang, these tiles have unique properties where each edge of a tile is assigned a specific color or pattern. When these tiles are arranged side by side, they can only be placed in a way that aligns the colors or patterns on adjacent edges. This constraint leads to the creation of intricate and visually appealing designs that do not repeat. Wang tiles offer a powerful tool for generating diverse and aesthetically pleasing textures, making them a valuable resource in various fields such as computer graphics, texture synthesis, and procedural generation.

Wang tiles are awesome! I’m using the same website as a resource, but it’s been offline for at least a week :/
