Thanks, though I must also thank John VanSickle for the Penrose code in his
'Boxer' anim (an IRTC entry), which I originally based my code on.

Once you understand the Penrose code in this thread, you may want to take a
look at the code I posted last November, which uses two Penrose tilings
simultaneously: triangles and pentagons. The code is at
<web.4386daf17ed7ae6c2eef1b3b0@news.povray.org> and an image is at

A top down view of just the floor is attached below.

That code uses a few 'interesting' techniques. If you need help
understanding anything in it, just ask.
