I suggested the tyler-game as a way of passing time in a Gardner-esque way. The idea is to see how many polygons one can crowd into an enclosure of the same size. The example on the left is shown for the enneagon 9.
The rules are as follows.
Once we explored this, the tyler-game in hyperbolic space proves to be also interesting. The example shows an enclosure with a tyler-setting of 5,5,20. Note the arch of three pentagons pointing to 3 o'clock crosses the enclosure.
