Got to love the number of fascinating things that carry Conways name.

I was searching for an interesting way to generate polyhedra and came across Conway Operators: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_polyhedron_notation

The results can be pretty awesome: http://elfnor.com/conway-polyhedron-operators-in-sverchok.ht... (not my code)

I've got a Unity based "toy" underway utilizing this. I'm currently struggling with adding a UI - mainly because that's the hardest and least interesting aspect of it to me :-(

(The base contruction method is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wythoff_construction - the Conway operators are then used to further add complexity. I'm not sure if I can generate all the uniform polyhedra purely using Conway operators...)
