When it finds a solid one where an open area could be, it starts running a maze generator at that point. Then, it iterates over every tile in the dungeon. First, it places a bunch of random rooms.

Trim back the maze to leave holes in the space, then turn those holes into rooms. Nystrom proceeds to explore two basic approaches to dungeon generation: You can’t circle around to avoid certain enemies, or sneak out a back passage. When you hit a dead end (which is often), you have to do a lot of backtracking to get to a new area to explore. You could make a roguelike with perfect dungeons, and many simple roguelikes do that because generators for those are easier to design and implement.īut I find them less fun to play. Nystrom takes us through a variety of different approaches to generating dungeons for adventure games, because it turns out there are a lot of things to consider. So I thoroughly enjoyed Robert Nystrom's recent essay: Rooms and Mazes: A Procedural Dungeon Generator.
