3. PowerShell
A cross-platform task automation and configuration management framework, consisting of a command-line shell and scripting language. Unlike most shells, which accept and return text, PowerShell is built on top of the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), and accepts and returns .NET objects. This fundamental change brings entirely new tools and methods for automation.

Windows PowerShell vs. PowerShell 7+
Although this repository started as a fork of the Windows PowerShell codebase, changes made in this repository are not ported back to Windows PowerShell 5.1. This also means that issues tracked here are only for PowerShell 7.x and higher. Windows PowerShell specific issues should be reported with the Feedback Hub app, by choosing "Apps > PowerShell" in the category.

10. WaveFunctionCollapse

WaveFunctionCollapse
Bitmap & tilemap generation from a single example with the help of ideas from quantum mechanics
WaveFunctionCollapse
This program generates bitmaps that are locally similar to the input bitmap.
Local similarity means that
- (C1) The output should contain only those NxN patterns of pixels that are present in the input.
- (Weak C2) Distribution of NxN patterns in the input should be similar to the distribution of NxN patterns over a sufficiently large number of outputs. In other words, probability to meet a particular pattern in the output should be close to the density of such patterns in the input.
In the examples a typical value of N is 3.
WFC initializes output bitmap in a completely unobserved state, where each pixel value is in superposition of colors of the input bitmap (so if the input was black & white then the unobserved states are shown in different shades of grey). The coefficients in these superpositions are real numbers, not complex numbers, so it doesn't do the…
