I've decided my "

[/font]untitled Escher game[font='Times New Roman']

", i.e.

[/font] Zoop[font='Times New Roman']

on a double logarithmic spiral, is going to be named "Draak", which is the Dutch word for dragon. The title bears no relation to the game beyond the fact that I am going to use as its logo art based on the following novel tesselation of the plane that I discovered while fooling around with

[/font]the tesselation tool that I implemented[font='Times New Roman']

to construct the sprites for this game, and also that I thought it would be cool to make the title art be an

[/font]ambigram[font='Times New Roman']

with rotational symmetry and I think I could figure out a way to do this with the word "draak".
