nullMachines | Verse

nullMachines are generated by stitching together hand-drawn animated tiles using the wave function collapse algorithm, which repeatedly selects a grid cell, randomly picks a tile that fits its position and neighbors, and propagates the constraints until the grid is full. If a dead end is reached, the process restarts until a complete solution is found. Another component scans the machines' small built-in screens and generates their content in real time, including marquee messages and generative pixel animations rather than pre-rendered graphics.
