Random dungeon generator

Attachment 11794
I just finished a random dungeon generator. It produces an array containing the X and Y coordinates, the tile type (path, wall, start or end) and tile graphic information of the dungeon.

The random dungeon generation is quite easy. It walks from a starting position until a predetermined number of tiles have been placed and a minimum distance from the starting position has been reached

The tile graphic part is solved by using prime numbers to create unique ID:s for different tile combinations. I did this in a separate editor, which is also included in the example.

It might not be the most intuitive example ever (far from, I guess), but I hope it's useful nonetheless!

The example can be found here: http://www.declared.se/?p=84

Looks great. Just downloaded this so I can drool on my feet.

Thanks! Just tell me if you have any questions :)

great example ! :) good work Yima!

Is there anyway to get a SEED number after generation?
The dungeon generator extension let you put in a seed. This would let you travel between dungeon rooms more easily I think since you could store the values

That would be practical. For now, it's certainly possible to save the dungeon layout to a file (that is the main point of the generator), but I guess you are looking after something like the seed in Minecraft or Cubeworld, where you can enter a seed that controls the "randomization". For now I have no idea how to do that, but I am really interested in learning how to do it, so I will get back to you if I come up with a solution!

Edit: After some thinking I feel that I might have come up with a basic solution to creating a seed based generation. I have to work tomorrow, but I will modify the generator as soon as I can.

Awesome. I have the dungeon generator plugin installed and it has a seed option, but I have no idea how the logic works

Nice work, It can be very usefull, thx for your work Yima

That's truly impressive

Indeed. Very nice.
