I have decided to see if I can make some generator for a level system and to study this I'm currently looking at rogue like programming
http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org...title=Main_PageI would LOVE to wrap my head around it, Because I CAN'T see a program randomly generating 2 doors, then generating the next ones because this WOULD conflict errors, like just say the first room was North and South, you loop around and the last door would make it so you appear in the last room.
Kinda like:
XXX
X X
SXX
S being the start. You would loop around, wall detection just seams far too hard for this type of work, and FAR too many if statements.
I could see something like, just say you have 9 room textures,
789
456
123
room 1: NORTH and EAST exits
room 2: NORTH and EAST and WEST exits
room 3: NORTH and SOUTH exits
.etc.
then you could generate from point 1, picking a 1-9 room, then if say 4 is selected you would display 4's exits, like NORTH, EAST and SOUTH then the user goes north, because we came from the bottom up you would have to pick IF USER SELECT NORTH randomly pick room 4 5 6 7 8 9.
Something like that? if I have explained myself correctly. That would be pritty good for, say creating new walls because the user 'destroyed' it, replace the room with another appropreate room.
EDIT:
I mocked up something in console written in c#

}
All it does is scan the previously generated spots, I suppose I could fix it up a little bit and make a make type of thing i'm SURE there's gotta be an easier way for this, I'll update as I find more information out.
