MAP-Elites Level Generator
Description
This program is a Level Generator that evolves levels via a MAP-Elites Genetic Algorithm. This algorithm is an extension of the level generator introduced by [Pereira et al.][1]. The output of this program is a set of levels written in JSON files.
Program arguments
This level generator receives seven arguments:
- a random seed;
- the maximum time;
- the initial population size;
- the intermediate population size;
- the mutation chance;
- the number of tournament competitors;
- weight or not the enemy sparsity;
- include or not empty rooms in enemy STD;
- the number of rooms;
- the number of keys;
- the number of locks;
- the number of enemies, and;
- the linear coefficient.
