A great explanation of Wave Function Collapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SuvO4Gi7uY
speps on HNNot OP, but I happened to see a good video on this recently: https://youtu.be/2SuvO4Gi7uY In short, it’s an algorithm for procedural generation of tiled content, like 2d/3d game…

Name 'wave function collapse' is confusing and suggests quantum physics
From 4 comments
Big confusion time on the algorithm name, like many other I was also coming in expecting this to be some sort of visualization of the concept of wave function collapse from…
dljsjr on HNMay I suggest that you add this comment, and perhaps also some of the links that have been given in these comments, to the readme? Apparently I am not the only person for whom…
mannykannot on HNI'm going to guess that at least 80% of us were thinking quantum physics when we read "wave function collapse".
UncleOxidant on HNHow is this related to making a measurement of a quantum system and the ensuing wavefunction collapse to one eigenstate? No offense, but it looks like a rendering of my lawn…

Pretty unclear what we're looking at here ... any context you'd like to provide?

toddm on HNOh, thanks. I clicked on that and saw a patch of grass and some water and was wondering what the heck that had to do with wave function collapse (in the quantum physics sense).…

dljsjr on HNIs this related to how generative neural networks work?

dljsjr on HNSo, about the name, the first time I've heard about WFC was when this post was released https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse I did not included it on my readme because I…
