'Isolattice' is collection of dissection puzzles and a (very basic) line drawing tool
for the isometric (60-degree) grid.
Isolattice allows you to draw polygons on a two-dimensional grid.
All angles must be multiples of 30 degrees, but they do NOT have to be
parallel to the grid lines; hence from each points you can draw lines in
twelve different directions! Lines can only cross at grid points.
(Also attached is game 'Isolattice Light' with only six drawing directions; loads faster
and has two colour schemes!)
In the first variant you are given a triangle of sidelength 12.
Your task is to fill this triangle with the given church-shaped pentagon.
First click the 'grid' button, then click grid points to create your line drawings.
There is no win message. You are the judge. Click help/solution to see a solution.
Several buttons are given at the left border:
'Line' button: Click start and end of the line you want to draw.
'Polyline' button: the end of the first line segment
will be the start of the next line segment, and so on.
Click 'Polyline' or the last clicked gridpoint again to end a polyline.
'Delete' button: allows you to delete one item at a time by clicking it.
'Fill' button: allows you to fill polygons with colour.
Click board close to an existing line or move pointer until hand appears.
(Fill is not fully functional due to Zillions limitations, but works in most cases.
See game description of Freeplay variants for details).
'Fill colour' botton: click to change the fill colour (red/blue/yellow/green).
'Grid' button: switch grid on/off.
'Clear' button: erase the whole picture.
Arrow buttons: use them to create polylines. Click board first to define starting point.
The variants are grouped into:
Dissections of 1) triangles, 2) hexagons, 3) self-similar shapes 4) convex shapes 5) others.
(See the associated game descriptions for details.)
Freeplay variants:
Six 'freeplay' variants are also included where you can create your own designs.
Three of them use thinner (horizontal and vertical) lines.
The available board sizes are 21x17 and 25x25 grid points.
See associated game texts for further details.
Be patient. Game and solutions load slowly (about 750 images in total)!
If not stated otherwise, the tiling puzzles presented here have been taken from my geometry puzzle books 'A Puzzling Journey To The Reptiles And Related Animals', 'Nutts And Other Crackers' and 'New Mosaics'. See my web page http://karl.kiwi.gen.nz/ for details.
