A maze generator for Tiles Map Editor (http://www.mapeditor.org/)
TIledMazeGenerator is a C++ executable program that create randomly generated, perfect maze for the Tile Map Editor. A perfect maze is descripted as one without any loops or closed circuits, and without any inaccessible areas. Also called a simply-connected Maze. From each point, there is exactly one path to any other point. The Maze has exactly one solution
- Gapless Generation (No Clustered Mazes)
- TMX Export (Creates a TMX File that is usuable immeadiatly)
- Multi-Maze Generasion (Can create as many random mazes as you'd like)
- GID Mapping (Maps tile sets to the maze)
The config file the generator will use is formatted in JSON (http://www.json.org/). Here's an example of what you JSON should look like:
{
"tmx_name":"sample", /// TMX file name
"tmx_layer":"sample_layer", /// TMX layer name
"tmx_dimensions":25, /// Dimension of the maze (This must ALLOWS be an odd number)
"tmx_dimensions_increment":2, /// Dimension size increase for preceeding mazes (Ex. mz1 = 25, mz2 = 27, mz-3 = 29) (Must be even number)
"tmx_amount":5, /// Amount of mazes to generate
"tmx_tile_width":108, /// Width of an individual tile in your tileset
"tmx_tile_height":108, /// Height of an individual tile in your tileset
"tmx_tile_set":"../sets/sample_tile_set.png", /// Location of the image
"tmx_tile_set_name":"Sample Tile Set", /// Name of the tile set in Tiled
"tmx_gid_default":5 /// Default tile to be used in your tile set
}
To run the generator, Use Command: ./TMXMazeGenerator -f {config file} -o {output directory)
If you don't want to build the generator from source, you can find the binaries here: The zip will containsa usage test and sample you can use
It's C++, Just import the code in any C++ compatable IDE, MAke sure you have C++11 flags set and build! But if you really lazy:
- CLion - Open root directory containing
CMakeLists.txt - Xcode - Coming Soon!
- Visual Studio - Coming Soon!
