WangTiles

Wang tiles: because edge colors must agree, independent seeded picks become one connected quilt, re-laid every few seconds and drawn as the classic edge triangles (wangTiling, drawWangTiling)

/// Wang tiles: squares with colored edges that may only sit together where
/// the touching edges agree. A seeded scanline fill turns those local rules
/// into one connected, maze-like pattern; here each tile draws its edge
/// colors as four triangles meeting at the cell center, the classic
/// rendering, and the whole quilt re-lays itself every few seconds by walking
/// the seed.
