TDC 2006 - random level generation prototype

TDC 2006, actually my first TDC, was a lot of fun. Next to getting to know the others, visiting a nice castle, while listening to the castle of an old and surely wise man and being led through a real(!) dungeon (that is a system of cellars), I prototyped an idea, that we might be using for a future project: random level generation.
A picture first:


In this screen, you see a randomly generated level consisting of modular difs. Placement of other mission objects, like items, lights, particle emitters, ... is also supported. The generation process is influenced by some parameters that can be defined by the user (size, dif types, item placement, ...). Using this system and some dif-modules allows fast generation of random dungeons, street systems and the like. There is still some polishing to do, some features to add, but basically it's finished. After polishing, I might be releasing this system with some modular difs as a "random dungeon generator pack" on www.3d-diggers.de, we'll see. By the way, the thingy in the upper right corner is an automatically generated map of the level. Only black lines are used right now, but custom bitmaps can be used if needed.
