# Desktop Dungeon Generator A Rust desktop app for generating simple tabletop dungeon layouts. ## Current Features - Resizable split layout: - Left panel: generation settings - Right panel: vector-rendered grid + dungeon preview - Grid controls: - Columns - Rows - Room controls: - Room count - Minimum room size (in grid cells) - Maximum room size (in grid cells) - `Square Rooms Only` toggle - Corridor controls: - `Corridor Randomness (%)` from `0` to `100` - `Dead-End Rooms (%)` from `0` to `50` - Door controls: - `Door Frequency (%)` - `Room/Hallway Door Chance (%)` - `Locked Door Chance (%)` - `Allow Middle Corridor Doors` toggle - Generate control: - Master seed input (`u64`) - `Random` seed button ## Generation Behavior - Rooms are stored as rectangles (`x`, `y`, `width`, `height`) and placed without overlap. - Corridors are stored separately as vector line segments between grid cells. - Every generated room is connected into one navigable network when possible. - A master seed drives deterministic generation, and internal subsystems derive their own sub-seeds from it. - Doors are generated from corridor adjacency: - Open doors are rendered in red - Locked doors are rendered in green - Doors are rendered as line segments on grid boundaries ### Corridor Randomness - `0%` randomness: - Uses shortest-path routing for room-to-room corridor paths. - Produces cleaner, direct corridor routes. - `100%` randomness: - Uses noisy/randomized routing while still ensuring room connectivity. - Produces more wandering, less direct routes. - Intermediate values blend between the two behaviors. ### Dead-End Rooms - Controls how many rooms should end up as dead ends (rooms with only one room-to-room connection). - `0%` targets no dead-end rooms (except tiny edge cases where topology makes this impossible, such as only 2 rooms). - `50%` is the upper cap to avoid over-constraining connectivity. ## Run ```bash cargo run ``` ## Notes - Rendering is vector-based in-app (`egui` painter), so zooming/scaling the preview remains crisp. - Room and corridor vectors are stored separately to support future export workflows (for example, SVG export). - Settings are persisted on exit and restored on startup from: - Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%/desktop_dungeon_generator/settings.json` - Linux: `~/.local/share/desktop_dungeon_generator/settings.json` (or distro-equivalent local data dir)
