MagicTile - geometrical and topolgical analogues of Rubik's Cube: "...and many more!
This program aims to support twisty puzzles based on regular polygonal tilings having Schlafli symbols of the form {p,3} for any p>=2. That is, all regular tilings of polygons with two or more sides, where three tiles (puzzle faces) meet at a vertex. The Rubik's cube is the special case where faces are squares (p=4). The other familiar special cases are the Megaminx (p=5) and the Pyraminx (p=3), although you'll discover the last takes a slightly different form under this abstraction (akin to Jing's Pyraminx). All the other puzzles are new as far as I know, and some may be surprising, e.g. the puzzles based on digons (p=2)."
