MarkovJunior VS cadquery

Our of curiosity, have you seen MarkovJunior, from the same developer? It's a generalization of WFC into a far more powerful probabilistic programming language capable of not only assembling random maps, but even generating solveable Sokoban levels?

It's not WFC but I'll be working on this soon too. For now I rewrote MarkovJunior in Rust, and made it into a library that is both faster and easly extensible.

Have https://cragl.cs.gmu.edu/pixelate/ be used to preserve features of your input image and keep the resolution input low for WFC, then randomly select features (shapes) from the input image to be used for procedural creation, like in the Dungeon Growth example from: https://github.com/mxgmn/MarkovJunior

I've done a similar thing myself when trying to test operations on a hierarchical database for my internal product.

Biggest difficulty for me was that some combinations of operations were illegal and I had to think about all the edge cases and filter them out, and this took a long time.

My SO works in hardware, and she says they always use a constraint solver to generate test cases / test vectors, and she never understood why this wasn't popular in software. I googled it a bit and found lots of academic papers but no concrete implementation.

I've also thought about generating test vectors using a generator based on Markov chains, I wrote about that here [0], based on this [1] submission.

I'm not familiar enough with either using constraint solvers to generate test cases, or Markov chains, to know if I'm talking nonsense here or is it just something that nobody thought to develop properly.

Have you played with MarkovJunior? You can write game rules in 2 or 3 dimensions (or any other dimension) using colors.

I implemented my own take on MarkovJunior (https://github.com/mxgmn/MarkovJunior), which is fancy pattern replacement (from the same mind who gave us WaveFunctionCollapse). Here is some dungeon creation algorithm.

I was thinking about cadQuery or DrawSVG. But maybe you have a better idea ? I'm beginner in python (started on november ...)

Last few months, I've made over 20 3D printed panels using the CadQuery Python library. Its syntax is pretty complex, so every time I wanted to make a panel, I'd just copy-paste bits and pieces from my previous panels. In the process, I learned what work and what doesn't, and I thought it was time to polish up this system to share it with others.

You might be interested in CadQuery:

Spicy! I'm also a solidworks user but I've been playing around with cadquery recently, that installed and performs pretty nicely on Linux for me. Haven't really pushed it though.

I am currently developing a pipeline for creating STL files, slice them and create a print job based on it. My setup at the moment is an Ultimaker S5, which offers a simple REST-API, for example starting a job with a G-Code or UFP file. I am using the cadQuery library for creating parametrized 3d shapes and export them as a STL file. I want to use the CuraEngine CLI interface (Backend for Cura) for slicing or their library libArcus (python bindings) but there is literally no documentation or any kind of examples, except the source code. There is also the prucaSlicer, which also offers a CLI interface for creating G-Code, but no support for the Ultimaker S5.

Not C but maybe cadquery? https://cadquery.readthedocs.io

CadQuery would be a closer alternative to OpenSCAD. Not sure if it’s available on OpenBSD.
