MapGen

MapGen is yet another one of Cardinal Teulbach’s library contributions. It assigns random connections to a set of rooms. Download it here. There are some rules in its use:

1. Rooms must be defined a certain way (see below).
2. Randomly-connected rooms must be defined consecutively (with no other objects defined between them).
3. Call MakeMap() when you’d like to initially set the room connections (or would like to shuffle them again).

Randomly-Connected Room Definitions

MapGen is picky when it comes to rooms. You may want to create a class of rooms like the following:

property coord  ! declare the coord property that MakeGen uses

room randomroom
{
    coord 0,0,0
    n_to 0
    ne_to 0
    e_to 0
    se_to 0
    s_to 0
    sw_to 0
    w_to 0
    nw_to 0
!\ games with up and down would also need
        u_to 0
        d_to 0    \!
}

! allowing you to do:

randomroom r1 "cave passage"
{}
