Pentomino Facts

[@wargrunt42]

It's very important to tile a plane with pentominoes and not tetrominoes. Tiling a plane with tetrominoes causes the plane to disappear, but you get the highest score possible in tetris.

[@minskghoul]

Fun fact, Tetris was originally supposed to be Pentris and it was based on pentomino, but Soviet computers scientists realized their hardware specification they chose for the project doesn't have enough of memory to handle pentomino pieces, so they downscaled to tetromino pieces and created Tetris.

Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeon Dice does some stuff with hexominos-you unfold a die into different shapes depending on where you want to go

[@an_asp]

@@maeve-wav I had the GBA game for that, and I really wish they did more with the idea. As a kid I really liked fitting the shapes together in different ways. Because of the die unfolding theme you specifically get the 11 cube net hexominos, rather than the set of 35 total hexominos, but it still ends up being a wide variety. I don't remember much about the game other than the dice, so I couldn't say whether it was actually fun as a game, haha.

[@Blazier]

One very important pentomino fact that you forgot is the parity of the pieces. If you imagine putting each piece on top of a chessboard, where the cells cover up the black and white squares, you’ll find that all but 1 pentomino has a 3-2 parity, where it covers 3 black, 2 white, or 3 white 2 black. The only piece with a different parity is the X, which has a 4-1 parity. This means that if you place an X somewhere, you’ll need to place 3 non-X pentominos to get back to covering an equal amount of white and black squares, or just by placing one additional X pentomino.

Guys, I have an ideia for a video game. So we make a 2D box and let random pentominos fall slowly till they reach the bottom, the player can move the piece left and right, and spin the pentomino. Once a line is filled the game give points and clear the line leaving the space where the pentominos above fall. The game is over when there's no more free space. The game will be called Petris

[@Aldrasio]

Tetris with Pentominoes has been implemented and it's really really really hard. Tiling pentominoes is so much harder than tiling tetrominoes.

As someone who (casually) plays Pentris, this is a fun analysis! Pentominos are definitely a lot more complex and interesting than their 4 tiled counterparts, and it really spices up the amount of thought you have to put in (especially during the faster phases when you have to make split second moves with awkward shaped pieces). Highest score I've ever gotten has only been a bit over a couple thousand points, so this could definitely be improved with a good bit of theory.

[@jackgardiner8751]

I hope I'm not too late for this, I've found a way to get an upper bound for a given nxn grid and a given number of pieces. Basically, each square on the best path is flanked by 2 walls, these walls might not be directly adjacent, but surrounding each square there will be 1 exit square, 1 entry square, and 2 other squares that either have a wall, or are an an empty path towards a wall. If the paths were not empty (ie they contained a cell that was part of the maximal path) then the path would simply choose to go towards the current cell via this empty path, meaning the maximal path is not maximal. If that made sense, the next step is to see that each piece provides exactly 12 blocks of adjacency, when you account for multiplicities (ie the L block gives 1 square in the elbow with a multiplicity 2 adjacency). Also, there is free adjacency provided by the exterior wall, equal to n * 4. So the basic adjacency score is 12 * b + n * 4, where b is the number of blocks. So the max path length is less than (12 * b + n*4)/2 However we can adjust the adjacency score to make it more accurate. First, notice that when pieces touch each other to form a connected wall, they lose one adjacency (unless they touch on their corners). This means that each non-corner touching gives a -2 to adjacency score. Also, we should assume that there is a square on the outside rim, so that is another -1. Also Also, the last sections of the path require 3 adjacent walls, instead of 2. So that takes 1 more adjacency score. We are left with an equation that looks like: (12 * b + n*4 - 2 * (b-c) - 1 - 1 )/2. where c is how many corner connections are between the blocks. Note that c

[@spike5888]

not surprising, considering each X is a water block with cane on each side! the fact that this tiles the plane exactly with no gaps corresponds with the fact that this is the maximum amount of cane that can exist in that space for that amount of water, which is of course true since each water block cannot possibly connect to more than 4 sand/dirt blocks! neat!

[@SilverLining1]

And now you know that a trivial game design choice created a scenario that due to the underlying and often ignored structure of mathematics has exactly one solution. Isn't that crazy? The plane can be tiled so many ways by so many monotiles, but due to the inherent geometry of a grid and this gameplay restriction there's exactly one way to build such a farm, and everyone must eventually stumble upon it. If the shape was any different there could be infinite farm designs, but this one provides no room for personal choice without sacrificing efficiency.

That pentomino game sounds like something that would be on an old school website and have a leaderboard on it where the people with the highest scores are shown.

[@jakobr_]

17:47 For board sizes n=42 and above, as soon as you’ve found the perfect solution for one board you’ve found the perfect solution for all of them because the game becomes a matter of “hiding” the two ends of the path. The optimal solution will just keep growing a bigger empty middle section the higher n gets. Why 42? Because 41 is the sum of the lengths of the “long sides” of every pentomino, the longest length a shape built from one of each can reach. 42 makes it impossible to block off the middle area.

[@YeaCloth]

this was looked in to, and that play only works from 42x42 up to around 84x84, when it's no longer the longest distance

[@jakobr_]

@@YeaCloth I’m curious to know what happens when the size is doubled that makes the strategy change

[@YeaCloth]

@@jakobr_ basically, once the grid has doubled, the longest distancethe line can travel is no longer the adjacent corner, but instead the opposite diagonal. Because of this, its meaningless to make the stacked line anymore, and instead it's best to make dense mazes in either one corner or opposite corners

[@jakobr_]

@@YeaCloth I don’t understand why the longest distance wouldn’t be to the opposite corner (or inside structures near opposite corners) from sizes 42-84

Your strategy only works for 16 board sizes, at 58x58, it is more optimal to create a line that leads directly to a corner, unlike 42x42.

A character in that series used them for all sorts of things, a couple of which were mentioned here (I think rectangles of pentominoes were brought up a few times) and a few more unconventional things. Actually, OP, as an artist you might enjoy those books, as they're art-themed mysteries and treat the pentominoes as halfway a math object and halfway an art object, kind of like you did here.

This popped up when i just got up from my bed. It's a good video to get the mind working in the morning.

Dude, this is genuinely so good, you 100% deserve way more attention. Your passion for the topic really comes through and I love how easy it was to follow your logic through the different avenues. The graphics you used really helped make the video comprehensible. If I could make one suggestion, your music choices felt kinda inconsistent in vibe and were a bit loud at times. That being said, if you keep creating videos of this quality you will blow up, I'm sure. Amazing work!

The puzzle you created is fascinating!

anytime the subject of pentominoes comes up i immediately think of the carpentry minigame from puzzle pirates

Fantastic video, I never realized the P pentomino was so unique

Oh my god this is exactly the type of thing I like

Your channel is very underrated! This was a great, well-edited video that I found very interesting and well-written. You deserve at least a couple thousand subs. I'm gonna help get you closer :)

The P Pentomino in particular is so much more interesting than I thought it was.

[@illusionist1872]

Funny names for them I just came up with. I = Log L = Tail Y = Gun W = Stairs V = Louis T = T P = Thumb N = Crank F = Duck X = Plus Z = Snake U = Bowl

I remember when I was playing a mobile game and it had pentominos for equipments. You had to fill a 6x6 grid or a few tiles short from that for maximal stats, and as it turns out the P pentomino is *extremely* versatile. People called it a 'thumbs-up chip' and was grinding since P could help in so much configurations. Great to feel it again
