LÖVE

I'm beginning work on a roguelike, and this is my level generator.
Wall tiles don't look quite right in windowed mode.

WASD = move.
R = generate new level.
F = toggle fullscreen.
T = toggle debug (doesn't do much).
ESC = quit.

Have fun.

Looking good!

(feels more like the interface to an action game than a traditional roguelike but maybe that's what you're aiming for)

I'm kinda basing it off Nuclear Throne, which isn't really a traditional roguelike, so it would make sense if it didn't feel like one.

Cool generator! It seems to make consistently good areas. What sort of algorithm does it use?

Wow that looks good!

I looked at the function where you generate the level because I was curious, I didn't expect it to be that short. Good job

That generator algorithm is very strange but also efficient. I expected to find marching squares algorithm when I checked the code.

Basically it has some tables, one for floor x values and floor x values. It has a sort of "cursor" (might not be the best word but idk/c) and every loop it moves the cursor x either left 1, right 1, or stays. It does the same with the y. It also adds three more squares, (x + 1, y), (x, y + 1), and (x + 1, y + 1). Each (x,y) pair in these tables are a floor space. There's also a table for which image each tile uses.

Thanks.

Oddity and efficiency often go hand in hand.
