#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.

recursion

The Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm (aka "iterative end-point fit algorithm"), takes a curve composed of line segments and reduces the fidelty to a "lower fidelity" curve with fewer points.

RDP Algorithm

In this coding challenge, I explore the concept of recursion to create fractal patterns in JavaScript HTML5 canvas with the p5.js library.

Recursion

In this Coding Challenge, I code a Context-Free Grammar text generator from scratch. The concept of recursion is explored. This video is part of Session 7 of the "Programming from A to Z" ITP class.

Context-Free Grammar

Choo choo! In this multi-part coding challenge, I create a maze generator using a depth-first search algorithm with recursive backtracking. The idea is to walk through a grid of cells, removing walls as we go to build a maze.
