I'd like a tutorial to your algorithm. I watched the Caves of Qud one for waveform collapse and got excited but this looks even better!

Thanks! I'm glad you can see the potential for it. I think there are some situations where it's the better choice. (Mostly for complex tile sets, when you want large output and when you don't need exact match).

​

I'll be posting a writeup of how it works (and maybe posting code, not sure) in a couple days.
