Dungeonic Art

[reaver]

Trying out masks for my dungeon generator, thought to do some dungeonic art and share. The map is valid and fully connected except the two islands in R and O.
Any fancy (but still practical) maps to share?

Cool, where can I play this level? 

[reaver]

Well, you can download the image,  open it, parse the colours and load it in your engine It's png, so no compression artefacts.

Doors : (255,0,0)
Rooms : (0,255,255)
corridors : (255,255,0)
Entry/Exit : (0,0,255)
Rest colours are walls

The entry and exit points have been set so that the 'room distance' (number of doors that you need to pass through) between them is the largest 'room distance' that you can get in the dungeon.

An interesting alternative to procedural generation. A dungeon so large you cannot ever memorize it. Could take years to see it all. Start the player in a random part of the dungeon and place the exit in a random place each time, that might be an interesting game.

I was thinking something similar for a 7DRL, but probably next year, too late now

Ok there you go. I put some 300 monsters in there so you are not bored

haha thanks, that's brutal! I played for 5 minutes I didn't encounter a soul -- this place is more vacant than my brain in the morning

Sorry, the game can't handle a whole lot of monsters on one level yet.

Here's a 7drl idea: replace "Rogue" with a random password. Whoever uncovers it first and types it in on your website wins $50

Oh wow, I'd like to know how you do that.

[guest509]

That was very very cool.

Anyone know what generator is this and where can I find it?

Looks kind of like a BSP Generator where the rooms are set to be pretty likely to fill up their entire area so they'll touch other rooms.
