A project for creating and moving through randomly created dungeons!

My first Unity project (2017) is a tile scroll dungeon with an animated avatar. The concept was inspired by a blog post:

https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2014/12/21/rooms-and-mazes/

but the code is original and the project features much more than just a randomly generated map.

Features:

• random map creation by seed
• carving and backtracking algorithm ensures the entire map is utilized
• all rooms and passages can be reached from any starting location (no dead ends)
• invisible secret doors provide additional routes through the dungeon...
• ...but they are visible on the minimap for the time being if you look carefully!!!
• animated avatar
• minimap fog (currently turned off)
• shift-key increases movement rate / animation speed
• sprite array for managing map tiles
• object serialization (save/load level and other game state data)
• escape key menu for user input and informative/instructive text

Next step: Populating the map with item sprites and managing interactions. This was previously implemented using a third-party tool from the Unity store but I decided to remove it and start on my own system.

Note the large room has visibility limited by the player's torch radius:
