I started this project making small edits to the dot code from  assignment b, making the tiles all line up and fit into the smaller canvas without a border. Then I started imagining what could be drawn over and over in the small boxes I created. Luckily my friend was looking at patterns on her computer and this seemed like the perfect challenge. I used a sketch I made, finding  way to replete the pattern and used that to play each triangle and quadrangle within the variable defined plane of a single tile.
