                   KALEIDOTILE 2 - Jeff Weeks

     http://www.northnet.org/weeks/index/KaleidoTile.html

  Explore tessellations of the sphere, Euclidean plane, and
  hyperbolic plane while creating colorful works of art.
  Decorate your tessellation with your own favorite images,
  or select images from the library provided.

  This new PC-only version of KaleidoTile is truly
  kaleidoscopic. Jeff is interested in finding an eager
  programmer to create a Macintosh version.

  KaleidoTile comes with a set of questions on tilings and
  symmetry for small group investigation.

  KaleidoTile 1.5 for Macintosh, which supports solid colors
  only, is also available for download.
