Z-Bin Packing

This is a difficult 3d puzzle involving fitting 25 roughly z-shaped pieces perfectly into a 5x5 cube. To perform this bin packing we set the Board to be the 5x5 cube and then "tile" the space. Every possible position the z-shaped piece could take is expressed with a DesObj.

We utilize TransSim to allow simultaneous transitions and then only allow 2 stages. so that the Board starts all 0 (unused) and then is filled by simultaneous transitions, in a single stage, to be all 1 (used). Based on which DesObj where used, we know where the z-shaped pieces go.

Writing out all of possible positions the z-shaped piece could have would be onerous, so it is better to write a script (generate) to perform this task for us.
