I was seeing if I could do this for a game, just so I wouldn't have to design a bunch of levels and there still could be a lot of content. However, it doesn't seem to work so well since it's rather hard to make a random map and then connect all the rooms. Say I have an array "map" that is 25x25. In it, 0 is ground and 1 is a wall, if the floor is randomly generated and then checked. If the floor has 6 or more adjacent walls, then it will become a wall. If it has 3 or fewer than it will become floor. If it has 4 or 5 than it and all its neighbors will be floor. How would I go about making all the "rooms" that were generated connected?

Here's a small .exe that shows what I've got. It has a lot of holes and problems though...

EDIT: Nevermind, I read an article about this that was made for rouge based games. It helped a ton.

Mine doesn't work as good as the examples he shows, but it works!

Works pretty well for anyone who wants to see it. It makes a random map that is from the size of the view (64 X 48 tiles) all the way up to 99 X 99 rooms. Space bar to generate a random one. Wasd to move around the world

(you will be able to move diagonally fyi)

cool!

Looks very cool

Thanks! Looks like this now, player can move and stuff, there's treasure, and you have to explore to see the world now. Takes a little longer to generate maps now though

Sloppiest looking code I have ever seen generates these maps now this will probably be it on this project... the code is too awful. Too much being created at once, too many for loops, too many ifs. I can post the .ged if anyone wants to make fun of it I just wanted it to work and wasn't too keen on making it clean.

EDIT: Oh, and when you use your turn you have to hit z to move again (since I never added an enemy to move and make it your turn.... sketchy)
