A compact C++ implementation of Wave Function Collapse (WFC) used to create procedural tile maps with minimal hard-coding. The demo renders live in openFrameworks and visualises each collapse step.

Features

• Edge-based adjacency rules loaded from XML
• Tile symmetries (rotations / reflections) to reduce authoring effort
• Step-by-step or full-map generation modes
• MIT-licensed Knots tile set by Maxim Gumin included

Directory Glance

src/ # openFrameworks app + generator core data/TileSets # XML + sprites

Roadmap

• Faster neighbour lookup with pre-computed arrays
• Generic generator decoupled from rendering layer
• Minimal UI to tweak tile probabilities on the fly
