Developed for CMPM 202, Winter 2020, UCSC.

Directions

1. From the command line, run dotnet run WaveFunctionCollapse.csproj. The resulting code should generate an image using WFC for encodings of several different synthesized instruments.
2. Go into the directory wfcMatrixGen. Then, depending on whether you are running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows, go into the application.windows[32/64] directory and run wfcMatrixGen.exe.
3. You will receive a prompt to import an image. Navigate to the appropriate image and submit it. Afterward, you should be given a .txt file in the same directory labeled velocityMatrix.txt.
4. Using the Pure Data patch labeled wfc.pd, import the velocity matrix text file to generate your instrument as audio.
