Random Tile Map Generator

This tile map generator uses an aggregation algorithm to generate a random tile map. The aggregation model is used in building crystal-like formations. Here it generates a map that has an organic rather than man-made feel to it. Submitted for tile map badge.

FreeBasic source and exe included. Press space bar for new map.

That's cool. :)

It also made me think, if I were to ever make another game similar to DungeonGame (in that it would need a lot of dungeons) I could possibly cheat and make a Generator for the dungeons. :P

A dungeon generator isn't cheating. It is being smart. :)
