Santa sometimes gets lost, but he doesn't seem to figure out why. No, it is not because his navigation system is not working, or his reindeers are lost. It is a little more complicated than that. What if his map changes randomly, wow that is weird huh?

I made a post about my random map generation system a few weeks ago. There were some problems with the wall generation and overall generation speed. I revamped and simplified the whole logic so it is insanely fast and a 100% reliable!

Because it is christmas time, I give my random map/dungeon generator as a present to this awesome community.

I wish each and everyone of you a merry christmas!

Oh and if you are drinking a coke, give me a cheers:) (photo proof is appreciated)

    @Approw, thanks for sharing this! That is some serious logic, I've only taken a quick look but it sure looks like a lot of hard work went into it. Hope I can find the time to play around with is and learn from it! Merry Christmas!

    Thanks everyone for the kind words:)! I will most probably use the base of this system in one of my games, and I hope that it can be useful for others too.

    Happy holidays!

    @JamieC Yes it took a lot of time to figure out the right way to do it (I think it took me 3 tries to get at this point). I knew how I had to do it right away, but it took me some time to really get it reliable and fast. The first versions involved collision detection to check where it needs to draw the walls, but when I increased the spawning speed it sometimes didn't check correctly, so some floor tiles and walls were overlapping with each other. This version is using the power of tables (no collision detection), and its so much faster and 100% reliable.

    Great stuff @Approw, well done. This is complicated stuff!

    Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas to you too!

    @Socks @mhedges @Hopscotch Thanks guys!

    By the way if anyone has a question related to the system, please feel free to ask here. After christmas a moderator can merge this thread to the original one. http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/90150/random-map-dungeon-generation-alpha-video

    WOW thank you Approw,

    what a great guy you are :)

  • tmanntmann Member Posts: 278

    Amazing stuff and very generous - I'd say you take the logic crown. Now if GS wasn't the master of self obfuscation I might try and learn something from it :)

  • neomanneoman Member, BASIC Posts: 826

    Nice one! Thanks for sharing and Merry Xmas :smiley:

  • ApprowApprow Member Posts: 703

    @tmann I would be honoured to take the crown :sunglasses: @neoman Thanks:)!
