you need to clone the other repo in a sibling directory
or edit packages.json to point to the github url

oh man this package would have been a lifesaver on a project I was working on last month I needed a hexagonal sphere and I knew the conway operations I had to do on it 😭
I love me some conway operations 🙂
Really underexplored topic. You can get some fantastic and unusual forms

I tried to make a version of the Blender spaceship generator using conway ops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q9U69bmL6c&list=PL94EgLgEIJyJQh_nB-CvSKbXjNU0ojNqC&index=10&t=9s

Unity procedural spaceship generator
Implemented a procedural spaceship generator using my polyhedral bag of tricks: https://github.com/IxxyXR/Polyhydra-upm
(Inspired by https://github.com/a1studmuffin/SpaceshipGenerator ) #unity3d #ProceduralArt #generative
yeeaaah this is the good stuff 😄
I had like 4 hours to get my hexagonal sphere so I made a brief start on conway ops and then noped out real quick
Oh if only we'd talked! I need to start a polyhedra hotline...
"Need an unusual shape with point symmetry but no time to waste on doing the maths yourself? Call 01010131415"
for real
Iirc the problem was fairly shallow... A command's ctor was using global state as a hidden input, so recording the same command twice only works if that global state doesn't change.
And the solution is to pass all inputs explicitly instead of relying on global variables
Yeah. I should have probably come back to you with some of my attempts - it might have clicked into place.
I'll dig it out again when I've got the current thing to a good place
Ah yeah that's exactly it... The "current selection" is the global state I was taking about. The command should never have been written as "duplicate selection" it should have been "duplicate this list of strokes"
See also https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lOuEFNU=/ for a variant of the problem with even more constraints. Andy I thought about it more and I think the problem is insoluble for the icosa and dodeca. At least, if you want to have only one pointer per face

Symmetry puzzle
Someone else mentioned it might be an analogue to the "hairy ball" problem!
