Dungeon generator

I recently stumbled upon this awesome free online Dungeon Map Generator, which gives you really nice ready to use maps like this:

While trying to build such a generator from scratch, I quickly came to the conclusion that this one is in fact much more complete and complex that it appears at first sight (and you realize that once you've tried to build your own):

  • Maps are not just orthogonal, they're nicely rotated
  • Walls are sexy
  • Rooms can be round
  • Rooms have notes

So yes, I'm trying to build my own map generator (got the idea while playing the solo Dungeon Crawler 2D6 Dungeon, which is by the way as cheap as excellent) and after a few hours of Lua, right now my generated maps look like this (beware, it's all but as sexy as above): enter image description here

There's a French proverb that says “when I look at myself I feel sorry, when I compare myself I feel comforted”.
Well, right now I'm much more sorry than comforted :)
So now I've got some work, first debug (the doors are badly placed, the corridors too numerous), rooms should be numbered in a clever way, and then make the output a little prettier (as far as the look is concerned there's definitively room for improvement).
And then generate levels interconnected by stairs :)

Why spend hours trying to do this when very nice free tools already exist?
Because “Its the not the destination, it's the journey.”
Peace out.
