Added code to minimize the number of doorways that involve dropping
through the floor. Added a DisjointSet class as part of the
implementation. I also split the maze construction process into two
classes (MazeDesigner and MazeBuilder) to make it clearer.
Deleted old function for removing random rooms. Fixed the occasional NPE
described in my previous commit - deferred the removal of nodes from the
graph until after iterating over their collection. Added conditions for
removing maze sections that are too small to be useful.
Completed the second step of maze generation. In this step, a graph is
built that describes which rooms can be connected to each other by
doorways. A maze is created by removing nodes (rooms) from the graph.
The algorithm is incomplete, but it already produces interesting mazes
comparable to DD's hand-made mazes.
A few details for the future:
1. Doorways are currently carved into walls at default locations. This
is just for testing and placement should be improved later. Some
doorways should be removed and redundant doorways should be possible.
2. The size of a section should be assessed and the section should be
discarded if it has too few rooms.
3. An NPE occurs every so often when a maze is generated. It's possible
that it happens because of removing a node from the graph that is
coincidentally the current node for LinkedList's iterator. The solution
would be to add nodes to a list and defer removals until after the
iteration is done.
Made some progress on the second step of our maze generation algorithm:
building an adjacency graph for setting up doorways later. Renamed the
SpatialNode class to PartitionNode to better represent its role.
Made some changes to maze generation to prune out random rooms from the
structure. This doesn't look as nice as I'd hoped, so I'm going to try
some other approaches.
Added classes for generating maze dungeons. At the moment, the dungeons
are generated in place of our pocket dimensions to make testing easy.
We'll need to restore pocket generation later and integrate the mazes
into the dungeon packs later. Currently, the structures are very
incomplete (they don't even have doorways), but this is only the first
step.
Changed our loot generation. Instead of relying on Minecraft's built-in
loot categories, we now have our own static loot category. There are two
types of chests now. Regular chests contain randomly-picked coal, iron,
gold, diamonds, emeralds, quartz, enchanted books, and golden apples
(very rare). We also have a function for filling out "grave chests",
which occur in 1 out of every 7 chests. Those contain rotten flesh,
bones, and some armor pieces and equipment that are assigned random
damage values and occasionally also get level 1 enchantments. Small
changes were made to various files to incorporate this update.
