#186 — Wave Function Collapse: Overlapping Model

Wave Function Collapse is an algorithm for procedural image generation. In this long overdue follow-up to my tiled model video, I dive into the overlapping model, coding it step by step (complete with struggles and messy debugging interludes) in JavaScript with p5.js.

It's Genuary 2024! Watch as I attempt to build a falling sand simulation in p5.js using a grid of pixels and simple rules.

Let's make a slide puzzle in p5.js together! We'll be using images, nested loops, and arrays, and by the end of our journey, we'll have a fully playable game!

In this video, I follow Mike Ash’s guide to Fluid Simulation and port Jos Stam’s "Real-Time Fluid Dynamics for Games" algorithm and code in Processing (Java).

In this multi-part coding challenge, I demonstrate how to use a circle packing algorithm.

In this coding challenge, I implement “Pixel Sorting” in Processing (Java). Using a “selection sort” algorithm, I sort the pixels of an image by brightness and hue.
