I find so often in Soloman’s Temple that the ends where it is easiest to attach another triangle are often the same……here for example we end top left on GC….creating two codons that are both Alanine. Top right end GC withTGC being cysteine……mid left ends CG with CGA being Arginine…..finally at the bottom ends in CC Proline. This makes it more difficult to find a new attachment point if they are all the same or similar.
The positions marked X are places you cannot add another triangle without duplicating the codon. If a codon is like a palindrome e.g. CGC adding any other letter could create two the same. So quite a lot of positions we cannot add to here. Just the ends remain with their similarities but there is the odd place you can move something to . This is a 36 piece Soloman’s Temple and is complete containing all 64 codons so adding anything anywhere would be a duplication but you can add and remove from somewhere else is a bad to make the game smalleras in 34 triangles which is the smallest I have achieved so far.
On the cysteine corner if I added an A creating AGC and AGT they would both make the amino acid Serine (you couldn’t in this setting but if you did) interesting though it would be another corner of two amino acids that are the same.
I guess if I was being true to DNA Codons I would make sure the ends were TAA - TAG - TGA shouting out STOP. Perhaps I should also start the game at ATG MET or Start point. I might attempt that sometime. Enjoy your thinking. X
