Designer Empowerment through mixed-initiative Wave Function Collapse

Wave Function Collapse (WFC) is a powerful generative algorithm, able to create locally-similar output based on a single example input. One of the inherent limitations of the original WFC is that it often requires users to understand its inner workings, and possibly make their own ad-hoc mods to achieve satisfactory results. Besides distracting...
