Description

Generates a random rogue-like dungeon that could be used as a dungeon generator for 2D games. Places up/down staircases, and adds 'chests' in random areas. It places the chests by using the A* path finding algorithm to find the path between the 2 staircases, then places the random chests in areas furthest away from that path. More information on the algorithm used for Dungeon Generation can be found here: http://breinygames.blogspot.com/2011/07/random-map-generation.html

Neat!

It works pretty nicely. I just had to grab a few libraries from here and see if I can't make a basic roguelike in 30 minutes (I could). The only problem with this generator I see is that it requires the minimum room size to be (3, 3) - or parts of the dungeon get broken into disconnected bits.
