I thought I read someone here saying they were working on wave function 
collapse in POV-Ray. I rabbit-holed the weekend (and a chunk of my 
Monday) on it, and I have two successful images generated purely in the SDL.

Requires POV-Ray 3.8 because I really love dictionaries.

My Brother in Rendering,

You have to provide more info, because it's been ages since I watched Daniel
Schiffman code this in an ADHD frenzy on the Coding Train.

What have you done?

I wrote a lot of macros, annoyed my wife, and found a bug.

(We did watch the coding train video, and my wife enjoyed his 
presentation process. She's an educator and found him a bit manic but
it was nice the way Daniel showed the full process and corrections in
the edit.)

I was trying to make the code presentable when I found the bug.

Well done, Sir!   :D

How can anyone not?

That's the good thing about his channel.  He shows you how he works through it,
from the lack of detail in an academic paper to the math, and the translation
into algorithms and code.
If you don't tear your eyeballs out before he gets to that point.

Isn't that always the way it works?
