Draw a randomly colored Sierpinski octagon in C#
This example draws a randomly colored Sierpinski octagon. It’s basically the same as the example Draw a randomly colored Sierpinski pentagon in C# except it draws an octagon instead of a pentagon. See that example for most of the details. … Continue reading

Tile a board with colored trominoes in C#
The post Tile a board with trominoes in C# explains how to tile a board with a missing square with trominoes. This post shows how to color the trominoes so no two adjacent ones share the same color. The four-color … Continue reading

Tile a board with trominoes in C#
Trominoes are polyominoes of order three. That means they are polygons made up of three equal sized squares joined at their edges. There only are two kinds of trominoes: three squares joined in a line and three squares joined in … Continue reading

Draw a randomly colored Sierpinski pentagon in C#
The example Draw a colored Sierpinski pentagon in C# lets the user click on the parts of a Sierpinski pentagon to change their colors. Eddie Bole thought it would be interesting to color the larger pentagons in addition to the … Continue reading

Draw a colored Sierpinski pentagon in C#
The example Draw a Sierpinski pentagon in C# shows how to draw a Sierpinski pentagon. This example modifies that one so the user can click on pentagons to change their colors. To do that, this program takes a very different … Continue reading

Draw a Pythagoras tree fractal in C#
A Pythagoras tree (or Pythagorean tree) is a fractal tree built from squares. It starts with a square that forms the tree’s base. The program then makes the Pythagoras tree by recursively attaching two smaller branches to the original branch. … Continue reading

Draw a Sierpinski pentagon in C#
In a Sierpinski pentagon, larger pentagons are recursively divided into five smaller pentagons with a sixth uncolored pentagon in the center. The following picture shows the first four levels of the resulting fractal. For this example, I decided to think … Continue reading
