- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

I know I’m late, but I’d thought, I’d share some of the visualizations I wanted to see. The code is woefully inefficient running on a 2D array with some greedy heuristics
Here’s my shapes with symmetries:
Here’s some of the solutions:
The visuals are terminal based, for simple cells I used two spaces with colored background and for solutions I also used braille symbols to better delineate distinctions between cells.
Really cool visualizations!
After archiving the repo I figured that I could’ve filled internal corners in tiles with braille symbols but oh well.
