Releasing Software

What is a software release?

A release is the immutable packaging of a software product. Software releases are an essential component of modern software development and the software development life cycle for two main reasons:

• They are intentional. Someone decided what changes are required to give value and when the changes are ready for others to use.
• They include context. Information about the difference between the code at two points is conveyed. Whether it is simply by the version indicating the scope or including additional artifacts such as a changelog, the user has more information than "something changed."

The developer plays a key role in a software release because a thoughtful decision is required.

Generating Procedural Game Worlds with Wave Function Collapse

Wave Function Collapse (WFC) by @exutumno is a new algorithm that can generate procedural patterns from a sample image. It's especially exciting for game designers, letting us draw our ideas instead of hand coding them. We'll take a look at the kinds of output WFC can produce and the meaning of the algorithm's parameters. Then we'll walk through setting up WFC in javascript and the Unity game engine.

The traditional approach to this sort of output is to hand code algorithms that generate features, and combine them to alter your game map. For example you could sprinkle some trees at random coordinates, draw roads with a brownian motion, and add rooms with a Binary Space Partition. This is powerful but time consuming, and your original vision can someti
