NAME

Games::Roguelike::Caves - generation of cave levels using cellular automata

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Roguelike::Caves;

my $map = generate_cave(50,20);
outline_walls ($map);
for (@$map){
  for (@$_){
      print;
  }    
  print "\n"
}

DESCRIPTION

This module provides generation of cave levels using cellular automata. In other words... * Each tile is initialized as a wall or a floor. * Each square's terrain is then reevaluated based upon the number of wall tiles near it. * The previous step is repeated a few times.

outline_walls is included. This replaces walls that border floors with - or |. It could potentially be useful for other level generators, although it is somewhat simple.

EXPORT

generate_cave
outline_walls
