Biome Map Generator

Run the included demo script:

python demo.py

The generated maps will be saved as biome_map, elevation_map, moisture_map, temperature_map, (noise_type)_map.

Dungeon Map Generator

Run either the included dungeon_demo script or dungeon_demo1 script.

python dungeon_demo.py

Console based demo with movement.

python dungeon_demo1.py

Generates .pngs for each dungeon level.

• num_islands, island_spread, min_island_spacing

• noise types (elevation, moisture, temperature)

• biome_thresholds for noise types (elevation, moisture, and temperature)

Dungeon Generator

• Map size (width, height)
• Number of levels (z_levels)
• Maximum rooms and room size constraints
• Tile symbols and export colors
• Specify which levels to export (levels=[0, 2])
