Isotropic Voronoi cells.

I was trying to get a partition that feels a bit like how fields are laid out in the English countryside, it's not too far off.

Temperature is widely used in machine learning, but unexplored in procedural generation circles.

It's an extremely handy global control over the generation's luck/creativity/variance.

With apologies to Robert Frost.
The A/B Not Taken Thank you for your interest in FrostGPT™. Rate which response you like the most? Response 1 Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Response 2 Two paths diverged in an autumn wood, And sorry I could not journey both And be one wanderer, long I stood And gazed down one as far as I could To where it curved in the undergrowth; Then saw another, as equally fair, And having perhaps the stronger claim, Because it was verdant and needed wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them truly about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no foot had trodden black. Oh, I saved the second for a future day! Yet knowing how path leads on to path, I questioned if I should ever come back. I shall be sharing this with a sigh Somewhere decades and decades hence: Two paths diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one more traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Ha, I returned to my #procjam 2023 project which I gave up because it wasn't working, made a one line change, and now it does.

So far, I've implemented 6 different grids using this system. They're all "game ready" - they efficiently support all operations you are likely to want do do, such as adjacencies or cell picking.

Let me know what tilings you'd like to see.

I've been getting increasingly into organising my life with Notion.
I'm still tickled by the top note in my filing system, which describes the filing system, including itself.

Guy Walker's Stagecast pages were an amazing source of tiling information.
Sadly, it seems to have gone down a year ago, so I've rehosted it on my own site so dead links can live on.
Check it out, it's got many useful details and fun bits.

A complete set of Wang and Path tile designs.

I've extended the core WaveFunctionCollapse to give many useful features, which I'll discuss later. Many of the features are aimed at giving you more *control* over the generation. Basic WFC can sometimes churn out mush at large scales.
Three examples of Tessera output. A castle based on cube tiling. A raceway with flyovers using a hex tiling. And a planet covered in quadrilaterals showing paths and fields.
