Title: Procedural map generation with answer-set programming

Reddit is handy yet again.

Bound to be some nuggets of wisdom, at the very least, in this writeup and the subsequent paper and source code samples for the more technically apt than me.   :)

  Hey those were pretty neat. Thanks.
  Do major roguelikes like Crawl/Nethack use similar dungeon algorithms for each level? I've not gotten far in either but it seems to me that this is the case. Like do they sometimes use a drunken walk, then a cave algorithm, then something more maze like, then something a bit more roguelike (3x3 square room connection), etc...?
