March Entry: Random Dungeon

[Sigurd]

I agree with the sentiment that random generators will usually give ludicrous results which is why I don't use them

That is actually the core of my defense. I love having random elements for designing things. Its not just that they are sometimes something for almost nothing, they can suggest things that are better than you might have come up with by yourself. When I cleaned up the corridor structure I had a sort of 'Ah Ha!' moment where it occurred to me that this is really a great way to use the random gen. You have to sharpen a pencil : you have to clean up a random gen. Rather than dismiss them out of hand, I think this makes them useful.

Painter has a trace function that clones the brush stroke from one layer to another. It also made the random gen really useful.


Of course, I will accept any decision by the judges.


Further, I will share my score with all the Orphan Tree Squirrels of New York. So those that want to penalize me... think of the squirrels.....
