Wow, existing the venn diagram overlap of Turtle programming  and  Lego.

While fundamentally different concepts, this is probably the project is the most similar to the idea I had for my entry.

A really interesting idea, and a great UI. If you consider doing more on this, it would be great to have some "pre-defined" setups, so that new user can get a sense of how different options work.

I see from your other comments that you are already working on version 2 - I hope it goes well! :)

WOW! GUI is brilliant, and kudos on the amount of work you put into this. Well done, I manage to do the below and that was about it

Thanks!  I've started working on a version 2 that hopefully will be more powerful and easier to use.

A shame to hear that Claude was such a factor, but even still, the project is very feature complete! I love the UI, and the dynamic emergence of the iteration and generation system. A very neat idea!

Next time, take the plunge and solo it without AI, you've got the vision!

I'm glad you like the idea!  I've done a manual tesselation placement program before without AI.  I've been writing my own AI framework for coding projects which I call claude-on-rails.  I thought this would be a good chance to test it out on a small project.  But in general I agree, it is good to force yourself to code without AI sometimes to keep your coding skills sharp.  But in contrast using AI allowed me to focus on the vision and the design, without getting bogged down in the coding details.

Good job! I love this entry, even tho I must admit that my enjoyment is held back a bit by my own mental limitations. :P

Thanks!  I'm glad you enjoyed it.
