    Just playing around and I got the pure pentagonal tile down wrt an

    Outch ... my eyes are hurting! Very nixe... :-)

    However, I am not sure how to make it go up and down without adding
    another tile... (y axis). I can make it go left and right (x-axis).
    Well... I can make it go up and down by introducing a rhombus, sorry for
    some imprecision, just goofing around here having fun:

    Ah... Seems familiar, somehow.

    Is this anything new? If not where can I learn more about it?

    There's a whole field in math dealing with this and similar stuff!

    See the sources too.

    It might be another try of mine where the only way I could do it was to
    add a damn rhombus?

    Trying to make it tile up and down _without_ using a rhombus via y axis
    makes me bang my head against a wall. Here is an older work of mine:
