Dungeon-factory NPM

dungeon-factory

This module is a tool for generating random dungeons as a two dimensional array. It is largely based on the excellent work of Bob Nystrom and his game Hauberk, which you can read about here.

A demo of this module can be seen here https://lucianbuzzo.github.io/dungeon-factory/

Installation

Install dungeon-factory by running:

$ npm install --save dungeon-factory

Usage

Require in the factory and then call the generate method, using an object containing a width and height attribute. The width and height attributes determine the size of the dungeon and should always be odd numbers.

const DungeonFactory = require('dungeon-factory');

const dungeon = DungeonFactory.generate({
  width: 21,
  height: 21
});

The generate method will return a two dimensional array of Tile objects

Tile {
  type: 'wall',
  neighbours: [ 
    [Object], [Object], [Object], [Object], [Object] 
  ],
  nesw: { 
    north: [Object], 
    south: [Object], 
    east: [Object], 
    west: [Object] 
  } 
}

type - The tile type, can be one of 'wall', 'floor' or 'door'.
neighbours - An array containing the tiles immediately surrounding this one.
nesw - An object containing the tiles immediately north, south, east, and west of this tile.
