I think wang himself established that in the 60's. 22:08:16 are Wang tiles TC even if they all have the same dimensions? 22:08:20 I'm assuming yes 22:08:42 what do you mean by having the same dimensions? 22:09:15 like, they're all 20×10 rectangles, for example 22:09:37 my understanding is that usually they're all squares 22:09:43 of the same size 22:09:46 they have to be carefully chosen 22:09:51 Aren't Wang tiles normally all square same size? 22:10:00 Only each edge has a colour and the touching edges are required to match. 22:10:06 but anyway, my point was - it's already an esolang 22:10:17 unless you're thinking of adding IO to it or something 22:10:29 rain1: what is it called? 22:10:33 wang tiles 22:10:39 Adding a article into esolang wiki would help though anyways 22:10:43 ah right, 1×1 squares 22:10:45 I didn't see it in the wiki 22:11:57 I mean, I get your point that the concept of a wang tile has an interpretation that's tc, but I thought it would be neat to create a language that was more constrained than just general wang tiles that still retained tc 22:12:09 hm... 22:12:25 how would you add IO to wang tiles 22:12:32 also an interesting question 22:12:38 the same way as in BIIA?, perhaps? 22:13:00 .esowiki BIIA? 22:13:13 https://esolangs.org/wiki/But_Is_It_Art? 22:13:25 err 22:13:32 https://esolangs.org/wiki/But_Is_It_ArtF 22:13:35 ugh 22:13:38 https://esolangs.org/wiki/But_Is_It_Art%F 22:13:43 https://esolangs.org/wiki/But_Is_It_Art%%F 22:13:47 I give up 22:13:57 apparently % then 3 is not a character combination I can send via this IRC client 22:14:18 Why? 22:14:37 haha 22:14:44 because % is an escape character for the client 22:15:03 and typing a string of % signs followed by 3 seems to discard the 3 regardless of how many % signs there are 22:15:19 Use a different client or change the setting or modify the client? 22:17:16 my initial thought was to have a tape where each cell is occupied by a wang tile with the usual east west color constraint. each successive cell would be constrained on the south - north colors of the current and next step, respectively. the way turing machines are typically simulated with wang tiles. 22:18:03 instead of writing a full on 2d tiler, the interpreter would just run a line at a time and the programmer would be responsible for preventing nondeterminism 22:18:44 pointless or interesting? 22:19:04 I don't know; make it up and see 22:19:22 that's always my inclination, but I'm open to criticism :) 22:23:54 -!- erkin has quit (Quit: Ouch!
