jcsnider Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Looks simple but not bad. What language are you programming this in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPony Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 > Looks simple but not bad. What language are you programming this in?Hi, my name is John, I use C#.:PRegarding its simplicity, I've been working on this for about 2 days thus far (not very long on each day either), so there's still a ton of progress to be made.Give it a month or so and I'll have something very polished to show you guys. Tonight, there shall be cameras! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsnider Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Meh, I shoulda guessed but I am tired, give me a break XD.Anyways best of luck and have fun with the camera(s)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisherwin Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nice!! I love Dungeon Style :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is that I haven't really come up with a good maximum size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Whatever algorithm your using for the dungeon map generator is uninspiring and clunky. I'd love to see you improve it so rooms and corridors are more defined and the dungeon looks more fun to explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the maps look much better when they're allowed to grow outside the bounds of the screen.If you want an older example of the algorithm working with a very large amount of space, this will well suit the job: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealbreaker Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Is the red or the blue part the generated area? Anyhow, it does indeed look quite boring. Too much of large open fields as it seems.-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still many factors that will need to be considered such as lava, ice, floors that break, huge monsters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exception Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Your algorithm is perfect and suitable for landmass. Not so for dungeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy420Rich Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I actually like his algorithm in the dungeons. This algorithm is great (if) there will be detailing ability added to his gen, top that with monsters. Its potential to be the best map gen if he goes all the way with it.

Joyce Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Honestly the simplicity suits the graphics style. It seems to resemble older games a good bit. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPony Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I might be able to have a video or a test client out for you guys tonight.The maps certainly have a different feel now that they're able to grow to their full potential.Thanks for the critique, guys. I will certainly work on fixing everything that you guys have pointed out. Edit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.House Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Looks pretty boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kibbelz Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nicely put Dr.House. You can clearly see the best in a project, especially one written from scratch, showing originality to branch away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.House Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 What I see right now is pretty boring, didn't say it has no potential becoming something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPony Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 > What I see right now is pretty boring, didn't say it has no potential becoming something better.Yeah, I think I'm going to go do a bit of research on some actual dungeon algorithms now. I have to admit that I'm not really too happy with the vast empty spaces either.Off to study! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Donjon's dungeon generator for D&D games has an incredibly good algorithm and flexibility/customisation. Maybe some of it's options can inspire you. Here is a map I generated-Square layout, huge size, scattered and large rooms, errant corridors.And here is a cavernous one I generated as well to give you some ideas.[http://donjon.bin.sh/fantasy/dungeon/](http://donjon.bin.sh/fantasy/dungeon/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kibbelz Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I agree, I used one of those algorithms for my random dungeon system. (With some modifications.)@Dr.House - Next time don't merely state 'its boring' without even any reasons nor suggestions of improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPony Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 I don't know. To be honest, after seeing the dungeons that Kreator posted, I didn't really like them too much.Just a small update (interface related): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisherwin Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Nice Update.. but can you show some interface than maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're entire existance Dr.House on eclipse is just to bash other people's projects. It disgusts me. Agreed, many projects are pretty bad. This is a WIP, All games are pretty boring here. No need to state the obvious. You proclaim that there is nothing to suggest, suggest reasons to make it less boring. I don't see you getting off your lazy * and making a project, Or are you really infact bad at game development. Anyone can sit at the sidelines and bash, but I have not seen anything from you, ever. Come back when you actually have some experience. The irony here is that you're the failure Dr.House and because of that you feel the need to bash everyone elses attempts. I will be interested in your response. Take this to private messages though since this is about General's and Murdoc's game, not about you having a little hissy fit because you can't compare to what they've done.

Link Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm agreeing with anything Joyce said. Nothing else here matters. Cool game, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
