Pentomino5x4Solver1
Press the Green Flag to activate pentominoes display of a 5x4 rectangle on a three second delay between tilings. The input is from the very exhaustive and beautiful pentomino tilings at isomerdesign.com In this instance the 5x4 - https://isomerdesign.com/Pentomino/5x4/solutions.txt All of the pentominoes except the "X" are able to be in a 5x4 tiling. I think that is is interesting. This version is adding more features - 1. Read in and display a manually solved 5x4 tilings composed in a csv file 2. Integer programming solver inspired by "A new mathematical model for tiling finite regions of the plane with polyominoes." https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359327440_A_new_mathematical_model_for_tiling_finite_regions_of_the_plane_with_polyominoes 3. Trial and error backtracking solver 4. Exact Cover Solver Big picture - I hope to code functional modules that are interesting examples of SNAP! programming and or illuminate algorithms. Audience is my STEM/Art kids MS-HS
