/*
 * Handwritten data tables for the Spectre tiling.
 *
 * This file is used by both the final tiling generator in spectre.c,
 * and by spectre-gen.c which auto-generates further tables to go with
 * these.
 */

/*
 * We generate the Spectre tiling based on the substitution system of
 * 9 types of marked hexagon shown in the paper.
 *
 * The substitution expands each hexagon into 8 others, except for the
 * G hex which expands to only seven. The layout, numbered with the
 * indices we use in the arrays here, is as follows:
 *
 *     0 1
 *    2 3
 *   4 5 6
 *      7
 *
 * That is: the hexes are oriented with a pair of vertical edges.
 * Hexes 0 and 1 are horizontally adjacent; 2 and 3 are adjacent on
 * the next row, with 3 nestling between 0 and 1; 4,5,6 are on the
 * third row with 5 between 2 and 3; and 7 is by itself on a fourth
 * row, between 5 and 6. In the expansion of the G hex, #7 is the
 * missing one, so its indices are still consecutive from 0.
 *
 * These arrays list the type of each child hex. The hexes also have
 * orientations, but those aren't listed here, because only
 * spectre-gen needs to know them - by the time it's finished
 * autogenerating transition tables, the orientations are baked into
 * those and don't need to be consulted separately.
