I broke it. (In a good way) I managed to embed a pattern in the feed that is not repeated in the output. Well, at least some of the time is not repeated-haven’t done very many iterations.

That might be due to the blue rect and the green rect must be separated with a straight line, and straight lines are hard to come by: https://imgur.com/85W15eI

I broke it in a bad way. Pattern chugged along fine and then it froze and a random white rectangle appeared. (N=3) https://imgur.com/a/IlmdkC6

Ah, sorry I didn't make that clear... That would be a contradiction, as no pattern was found to fit in that area. You need to generate again.

Interesting. Well it only happened once so I guess I just got bad luck. Fun demo!

This is awkward. My home router blocks your site as malware. (It tells me I can submit the site for review here: bitdefender.com/submit

Well maybe that's because I am hosting my blog on vultr... I guess?

Seems like n=3 really helps to get good results. With n=2 it was a bit hard to see that it actually followed the pattern.

Yeah, that's why in the official repo lots of images were generated using N=3. However N=2 is pretty good for mazes and stuffs from my perspective.

Note that the implementation described above uses the Arc Consistency 3 algorithm for the propagate step. It's often an order of magnitude faster to use AC4, as is done in the original WFC repo and in my implementation (https://github.com/BorisTheBrave/DeBroglie).

Yeah, I am just trying to make it work :P I would strongly advise against using my implementation.
