Chiral Aperiodic Monotiles - Their discovery and their construction using Inkscape - Spectre tiles
Hot on the heels of their discovery of the Einstein tiles (The Hat and the Turtle) the same team of David Smith, Joseph Myers, Craig Kaplan and Chaim Goodman-Strauss have made further discoveries. This video explains these new discoveries. Many ideas are covered: periodic and aperiodic tilings, chiral and non-chiral tilings, weakly chiral and strongly chiral aperiodic monotiles.
The weakly chiral aperiodic monotile that David Smith discovered, the first ever such tile discovered, is constructed in this video using the open-source vector graphics software Inkscape. Step-by-step instructions are given for this construction. This tile is then transformed into an example of a Spectre monotile. These are strongly chiral aperiodic monotiles. A colourful tiling is then started.
Inkscape can be downloaded from inkscape.org
