Structure Synth
december 2008 by fakeisthenewreal
Structure Synth is an application for creating 3D structures from a set of user specified rules. It is an attempt to make a 3D version of Context Free.
It is built in C++, OpenGL, and Qt 4.3. Builds are currently provided for Windows and Mac. It is possible to compile Structure Synth on Linux as well.
As of now this project is usable, but it is still beta quality (although it is quite stable, not all planned features are completed). The progress and design considerations can be tracked at the Syntopia blog.

Aperiodic tiling - Wikipedia
september 2008 by fakeisthenewreal
There are remarkably few constructions of aperiodic sets of tiles known, even forty years after Berger's groundbreaking construction.... The undecidability of the Domino Problem ensures that there must be infinitely many distinct principles of construction, and that in fact, there exist aperiodic sets of tiles for which there can be no proof of their aperiodicity!

Johnson Solid -- from MathWorld
march 2005 by fakeisthenewreal
the convex polyhedra having regular faces and equal edge lengths (with the exception of the completely regular Platonic solids, the Archimedean solids, and the two infinite families of prisms & antiprisms). There exist exactly 92 Johnson solids.
