Penrose Tiling Generator
Penrose tilings cover the plane aperiodically — they never repeat, yet obey strict matching rules that force long-range order. This generator uses the deflation (subdivision) method: start from a simple shape and recursively split each tile into smaller copies. The ratio of thick to thin tiles converges to the golden ratio φ ≈ 1.618. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom.
