Procedural generation from a single example by wave function collapse github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunc…

@gurenyov @googlemaps No, it's another thing

@ExUtumno Can you generate something like this by using @googlemaps data to recreate real world in 3D? 🤓

Cool work! Apparently, you can generate locally-similar shapes using graph grammars.

New project: HexCastle 🔥Live: hexcastle.andriibabintsev.com Wave Function Collapse is quite fun!

I built a procedural medieval island map generator using Wave Function Collapse on hex grids. 4,100 cells, 900 possible states per cell, 60fps on mobile. Wrote up the whole process with lessons learned. Links below 👇 #threejs #webgpu

@lerandomart @monkantony_tez @zzznah @MIT @medialab Such a great conversation! And somehow I never connected NeRFs with CPPNs before

Building a blazing fast ⚡ Wave Function Collapse solver for three.js Sharing some technical notes on how I’m squeezing performance out of every frame. (WIP 🚧 - but already interactive and ultra-fast!) #threejs #gamedev #WFC #creativecoding 🧵1/6

A while ago, I posted that browser-based editor that creates isometric maps using Wave Function Collapse (WFC). I forgot to share most important thing of all, the url😖!! apps.fenixfox-studios.com/wave_function_… #WFC #isometric #pixelart #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev

@PierreTerdiman Didn't know you are into verifiable theorem proving! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_(pro…

You want clean code, I want lean code.

MarkovJunior is a probabilistic programming language where programs are combinations of rewrite rules and inference is performed via constraint propagation github.com/mxgmn/MarkovJu…

@elliotokay Thank you!

@ExUtumno I recommend "The art of the propagator". I wrote a bit about a previous attempt at a bidirectional language here: vezwork.github.io/polylab/dist/d… If you want to learn about bidirectionality via rewriting like I am doing here, check out the egg and egglog papers.

I'm working on new bidirectional language stuff. Some fun and cool stuff is happening :) Working to share a try-it-yourself demo soon. I made a JS e-graph library that I'll open source alongside the demo.

@lisyarus I have a "seq", yes, but it is not a Behavior Tree sequence, it's a simple imperative language sequence: execute one instruction right after another. Nothing asynchronous.

@ExUtumno Tbh it looks a lot like behaviour trees

So I decided I don't want behavior trees for my game's agents' AI, so I implemented GOAP, then realized GOAP doesn't work for me, so I implemented a simple "reusable action queue" thing, then these actions became stateful and suspendable and hierarchical...

@lisyarus Just write AI as code in a small domain-specific language

Btw to anybody saying to "just write AI as code": the AI in this game is one of the heaviest and most complicated things, and without adhering to some structure it instantly turns into a unhinged undebuggable mess. Trust me, I did it this way a dozen times, it just doesn't work.

@azrhyga Thanks!

@ExUtumno Great!! Very good job!!

Procedural voxel models synthesized with the wave function collapse algorithm github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunc… and rendered in #MagicaVoxel

Tried porting the generator to Godot. No fancy tiles nor collapse heuristic, but a navigability flood-fill, placing trees at unreachable tiles.

@fchollet Tolkien-like fading of magic can be interpreted as the second law of thermodynamics. Magic energy starts concentrated, and then dissipates over the environment and becomes much harder to harvest and use.

Side note, when I read the Harry Potter books as a teen it struck me as deeply imbalanced and illogical that wizards could conjure up physical effects of arbitrary magnitude for free, simply by being born with a certain gene. Surely any spell usage should consume some kind of resource, and the primary concern of wizards should be building and maintaining infrastructure to generate/harvest this resource, store it, distribute it, and use it efficiently

@boris_brave Yes, if it's recognizable + there are public materials + I know about it (obviously), then I mention it on github youtube.com/watch?v=usJrcw…

Can anyone share some examples of WaveFunctionCollapse or the like in finished games other than Caves of Qud and Oskar Stalberg's games? There's surely other games doing it now? I got told about one, but now I've lost the reference...

@boris_brave No Man's Sky, apparently: twitter.com/marian42_/stat…

@boris_brave You mean finished commercial games, and not something that people put on itch io for free? There is Matrix Awakens.

@ouo_uwu_ovo @0xmaddie_ Add gif="True" to the model you want to animate in models.xml. And gui="300" if you want to see the sidebar github.com/mxgmn/MarkovJu…

@0xmaddie_ I downloaded the program, but after run the .exe, it just run in a terminal then output the result. How to obtain the visual compute processing like this video? Thanks.

i still think about this program, definitely one of my favorites
