Hello there!
Would it be possible with this boilerplate code to generate levels deterministically? I have a 65 character string I need to use to generate levels in a deterministic way - how difficult would it be?
Thanks!
It’s quite easy to do this using seedrandom. You simply load the library in your index.html:
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/seedrandom/3.0.5/seedrandom.min.js"></script>
Then early in the main script call it with your string as the seed:
Math.seedrandom("your seed string");
This will replace Math.random() with a deterministically seeded version and you will get the same results each time.
One other option is to seed ROT.RNG.setSeed() and/or use a cloned RNG with ROT.RNG.clone() which may give you more control in specific circumstances.
