Penrose tiling with blocks and Grasshopper

Hello!

I would like to arrange Penrose tilings with block-objects by Grasshopper. The two tiles should be blocks and the arrangement should be built by Grasshopper, using the rules for Penrose-tilings. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling ). Later I would like to make little changes on the tiles and the whole arrangement should be changed automatically too.

To make it not so complicated, I thought about three steps, to reach my goal.

  1. in a first step I want that Grasshopper fills a defined area (maybe 1 m²) with the two tiles in a default way and without producing holes.

  2. in a second step I want to use more than two tiles. For example 4 Tiles - two tiles of the small rhombus and two tiles of the big rhombus, but every one in another color.

  3. in a third step I want to control the combination of the tiles by their edges (or tips).

I think the plugin Elefront is helpful here.

The problem is: I can handle Rhino, but I have absolutely no experience in Grasshopper. So - it would be nice if somebody could give me an assessment, if that project has a chance to be realized and wether it is difficult or easy to realize it.

Maybe somebody experienced in Grasshopper could also show me a way to realize it.

Greetings,

Seiml
