Wave Function Collapse overlapping model implementation in Rust. Generates novel images by extracting NxN patterns from samples and synthesizing outputs that follow the same adjacency constraints.
The overlapping model extracts all NxN pattern tiles from a sample image and records which patterns can appear adjacent to each other. Starting from a completely undetermined output, it iteratively:
- Finds the cell with lowest entropy (fewest possible patterns)
- Collapses it to a random valid pattern
- Propagates constraints to neighboring cells
- Repeats until complete or a contradiction occurs
cargo run --release --bin wfc-eguiLet's see how edge constraints affect the output.
Sample:
| Without constraints | Vertical constraints | Vertical + Sides constraints |
|---|---|---|
![]() |
