+# N-Dimensional Wave Function Collapse (nd-wfc)
+
+An optimized C++ implementation of the Wave Function Collapse algorithm that supports multiple dimensions (2D, 3D, 4D, etc.).
+
+## Features
+
+- **N-dimensional support**: Works with 2D, 3D, 4D, and higher dimensions
+- **Optimized performance**: Efficient constraint propagation and entropy calculation
+- **Flexible tile system**: Support for weighted tiles and custom constraints
+- **Third-party integration**: Built-in support for JSON (RapidJSON), textures (STB), and 3D models (Assimp)
+- **SDL2 graphics**: Windowing and rendering capabilities for visualization
+- **Comprehensive testing**: Google Test integration for robust testing

+- Git
+
+### Build Instructions
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone <repository-url>
+cd nd-wfc
+
+# Create build directory
+mkdir build
+cd build
+
+# Configure with CMake
+cmake ..
+
+# Build the project
+cmake --build . --config Release
+
+# Run tests
+ctest --output-on-failure
+
+# Run examples
+./examples/basic_wfc_2d
+```
+
+### CMake Options
+
+- `ND_WFC_BUILD_TESTS=ON/OFF` - Build tests (default: ON)
+- `ND_WFC_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON/OFF` - Build examples (default: ON)
+- `ND_WFC_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=ON/OFF` - Use system libraries instead of bundled (default: OFF)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic 2D Example
+
+```cpp
+#include "nd-wfc/wfc.hpp"
+#include "nd-wfc/types.hpp"
+
+int main() {
+    // Create a 10x10 grid
+    nd_wfc::Size<2> size = {10, 10};
+
+    // Define tile types
+    std::vector<nd_wfc::TileId> tiles = {0, 1, 2, 3};
+
+    // Define constraints (adjacency rules)
+    std::vector<nd_wfc::Constraint> constraints = {
+        {0, 0, nd_wfc::Direction::North}, // Tile 0 can connect to tile 0 from North
+        {0, 1, nd_wfc::Direction::South}, // Tile 0 can connect to tile 1 from South
+        // ... more constraints
+    };
+
+    // Configure WFC
+    nd_wfc::WfcConfig config;
+    config.seed = 12345;
+
+    // Create and run WFC
+    nd_wfc::Wfc2D wfc(size, tiles, constraints, config);
+    nd_wfc::WfcResult result = wfc.run();
+
+    if (result == nd_wfc::WfcResult::Success) {
+        // Access the result
+        const auto& grid = wfc.getGrid();
+        // Use grid data...
+    }
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### 3D Example
+
+```cpp
+// Create a 3D WFC instance
+nd_wfc::Size<3> size = {8, 8, 8};
+nd_wfc::Wfc3D wfc(size, tiles, constraints, config);
+```
+
+## Third-party Libraries
+
+The project includes several third-party libraries:
+
