Unexpected project for the day: If we wanted to design our own variant of the board game Metro [1], how could we create the tiles with the least amount of manual drawing? Square tiles feature 8 connection points, 2 per side. 4 routes cross the tile. They may intersect, but they do not branch or merge. After figuring out the 8 unique connection shapes, a bit of looping code gets you there! FWIW, there are 65 valid tiles. Back to work! 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_(board_game)
