DungeonGenerator

A 2D map generator to be used in a game as a dungeon generator. Currently every x,y coord in the map is a character representing something different (NESW walls, corners, floors, corridors/walls, doors), this makes it very easy to iterate over the map and draw different textures to the screen in a game engine. Right now every room has 4 walls (naturally) and a maximum of one connected room on that wall. A random number of rooms are generated, but if too many failures occur while trying to draw the map we reset and start over. A failure is when rooms improperly overlap or we just cant fit an expected number of rooms.

Usage

var mapWidth = 50;
var mapHeight = 50;
var dg = new DungeonGenerator(mapWidth, mapHeight);
dg.GenerateEmptyMap();
dg.PrintMap(); // show the example output below

Example output from above example

rooms: 6, attempts: 269 avg/room: 44
