["anims","Animations","01/11/02","All animations were produced from Tymless. Some are large and may take time to download. No media player required."],
["everything","Everything","01/11/02","The whole lot in one big messy heap of thumbnails."],
["fractogons","Fractogons","01/11/02","I use the word 'fractogon' to describe a polygon with a fractal border. The coastline of an island, or the many varied outlines of a pebble are good examples. Some fractogons are more interesting than others, though. Some tile the plane, others are rep-tiles."],
["interlocking","Interlocking spirals","01/11/02","Some ideas I had that I like, based upon the logarithmic spiral."],
["jigsaws","Jigsaws","01/11/02","Some puzzles I designed. Each consists of the complete set of a certain class of tile. I.e. start with a square and add or subtract a certain shape to each side. I didn't know they would fit together so well until I cut them out of paper and tried."],
["mandelbrot","Mandelbrot Set","01/11/02","The Mandelbrot set is a famous fractal which has been called the most complex structure known to mathematics. There are many tools which specialise in drawing this, and are optimised for it. I just created these pictures to show the versatility of Tymless"],
["misc","Miscellaneous","01/11/02","Pictures I haven't got around to sorting!"],
["missing-spins","Missing Spins","01/11/02","The idea here is to take a 'spinning' reptile like a square or triangle, and fill in one sub-tile on each iteration. By choosing different spins for the sub-tiles, various patterns result."],
["overlapping","Overlapping tiles","01/11/02","A bastardised sim-tiling, where the subtiles overlap and don't completely fill the main tile. The idea is that the overlap should be the same size and shape relative to the sub-tile as the missing bit is to the main tile."],
["pattern_tess","Patterned Tesselations","01/11/02","Take a reptile to the nth iteration, and pattern each tile the same. No need to draw the tile borders, just the pattern."],
["sim_rectangles","Sim-tiling with rectangles","01/11/02","I've got more of these somewhere. All the sub-rectangles are the same shape as the main one, but all different sizes."],
["sol","Simtiling with triangles","01/11/02","One of my earliest ideas. All the siub-triangles are the same shape as the main one."],
["snowflakes","Snowflakes","01/11/02","Inspired by Koch's Snowflake, and attempting to fill it in."],
["trails","Space-filling curves of various kinds","01/11/02","A curve is a continuous line. Lines are not supposed to 'fill' space, but a space filling curve can. Each segment is replaced by a pattern identical to the whole ad-infinitum. Obviously this is not very visually appealing in the end-result, but the initial stages can be funky."],
["spincounts","Spin counts","01/11/02","Some rep-tiles spin. Basically the square, rectangle, parallelogram and triangle. By spinning each subtile in a preset manner, and counting the total number of spins of each final tiny element, I produced these images."],
["spiral_tess","Spiral tesselations","01/11/02","Spiral tesselation with different sized tiles."],
["waves","Waves","01/11/02","These pictures were created using sine wave technology! I can't remember the details, but I was making it up as I went along anyway."]
