Aperiodic Monotile Game Jam
Some clever geometers have been the first to discover a solution to the einstein problem, a single shape that forces an aperiodic tesselation of the plane:
In fact, they found a family of simple shapes with this property! There's more about the problem and their solution on their website: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/hat. This article is also pretty good: https://aperiodical.com/2023/03/an-aperiodic-monotile-exists/
So anyway, new shape just dropped, come to Newspeak House in the evening of Wednesday 5th April let's see if we can make any interesting games with it! All are welcome whether you're a beginner or seasoned designer. Most people will probably make boardgames, but you're welcome to bring a laptop along and make something digital too.
We'll supply wifi, tables, basic craft materials and light refreshments. I'll do my best to see if I can get a bunch of these tiles manufactured in the meantime. Any questions, hit me up on whatsapp/signal (+447796955572) or @edsaperia.
