About Map Generator
Map Generator is a downloadable Windows tool for building custom cave-like maps, intended mainly for use in tabletop roleplaying games. It uses cellular automata, a rule-based method derived from Conway's Game of Life without starvation, in an attempt to produce paths and rooms that look natural rather than manmade.
The tool offers two generation modes. A maze mode creates an imperfect maze with more than one route through it. A custom mode lets users add rooms and paths manually as nodes, edit node parameters in a properties panel, and connect nodes to form paths. The author notes that the path start seeded percent value is likely the setting that gives the best results when changed. The directory's listing reports a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 8 ratings.
