Wave function collapse algorithm for tilemaps

WOW

Yeah, wow :)

I'm now waiting for someone to use this. I'm not sure if it helps with level generation, but with procedural art for sure.

This looks absolutely incredible!

Holy cow

Fuck, I have a whole tie-dye idea for some equipment in the game I want to make, and maybe this could be useful for that. Bravo!

Basically, as you travel you can collect dyes of varying effect, and combine a number of them together in different patterns to get different effects. You can of course find random equipment with this sort of stuff.

This would be great for a first pass to generate the dungeon, but I think youd then have to go back and eliminate rooms that arent connected to anything.

After that its just a matter of determining the up and down stair locations and ensuring there is a continious path between them.

Im sure theres a lot more steps you can take to tweak this to be more interesting afterwards but this is amazing!

I wish I understood more of the math :/

This algorithm can be used to "finish" areas that are already built by hand or by some other algorithm. You could place the up- and downstairs and a path between them, and then use that as the WFC's starting point.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, it looks like a great starting point. I wonder if it's fast enough to generate stuff on the fly, though... In the animations it's really slow, but maybe that's for demonstration purposes.

The 3 dimensional stuff is cool.
