I ended up mostly skipping Genuary because of Ludum Dare, but today I decided to write a tiny village generator.
This took me about one hour to write. Every time you run the cart, a new tiny village is generated.
There is nothing special going on. Walls are placed first, then doors and floors following a flood fill algorithm. Everything else is placed by sampling the map hundreds of times and checking for placing conditions.
The code is a bit of a mess and, looking back, I can see several easy places to reduce token count and increase variety. Maybe I'll revisit this before the end of the month. Maybe not.
I hope I'll have some time in march to participate in 7DRL. I have ideas I want to put into practice.
