ASCII Dungeon

A simple ASCII dungeon generator that creates procedurally generated dungeons with rooms, hallways, and an entrance.

Usage

node index.js

Configuration

You can customize the dungeon by passing command-line arguments:

node index.js width=50 height=30 roomCount=8

Available options:

• width - Dungeon width (default: 40)
• height - Dungeon height (default: 20)
• roomCount - Number of rooms to generate (default: 5)
• wallsChar - Character for walls (default: "#")
• emptyChar - Character for empty spaces (default: " ")
• doorChar - Character for doors (default: "+")
• entranceChar - Character for entrance (default: "E")

How it works

The generator creates a grid filled with walls, then:

1. Randomly places rooms of varying sizes
2. Creates a main horizontal hallway connecting all rooms
3. Connects each room to the hallway with corridors and doors
4. Places an entrance on the left side of the hallway
