  1. …https://github.com/marian42/wavefunctioncollapse * Original Wave Function Collapse Algorithm: https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse
    comment by abetusk · 2018-11-13 · in Infinite procedurally-generated city with the Wave Function Collapse algorithm
  2. Amazing work! I've been excited about this technique since I first saw the original demos of it ( https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse ) - but can someone explain (at a very high level) how Wave Function Collapse works? I've read…

  3. …earlier[2]. Hence why this is the only implementation I've seen with non-local constraints[3] [1]: https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse [2]: https://www.boristhebrave.com/2018/04/28/random-paths-via-ch... [3]:…

  4. Oh also here is the original creator of the algorithm that this implementation is based on: https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse Even more examples up there.

  6. …the building generator can be seeded by the terrain relief. But it's not trivial for sure. See also https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse#higher-dimensi... because it's relevant and looks awesome :)

  10. …them. I’ve recently set myself the goal of implementing the ”Wave Function Collapse Algorithm” ( https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse/blob/master/RE... ) in P5.js as a kind of catalyst to get me going.
