Decided to do more practice with procedural generation. For years I always put it off thinking it was too tough to make a dungeon generation algorithm, but then I decided that I could start of by creating Zelda-like dungeons given that the first Zelda game had dungeons using premade rooms that fit on a grid.
I wrote a simple dungeon generator in Java and here are the results. The generator does have a bias for L shaped dungeons though.
I tried my hand at a more traditional roguelike dungeon generator using this algorithm (https://roguebasin.com/index.php/Dungeon-Building_Algorithm). The results were more cave-like than I expected. It only uses rooms and corridors, but it doesn't really place them logically, only if it is right next to a wall.
I should try BSP dungeon generation next. It should give more "dungeon-like" maps.
