Here's another couple such generators, though they create star systems and planets, and not medieval maps:

This is beautiful! And must be even more beautiful from technology side. I have recently became interested into procedural generation as my free time hobby. As a backend software engineer I was looking for a side project with no commitment. Which would be flexible to apply different types of technologies, boring and interesting at the same time. "The Forever Project" [1] article describes motivation behind it. Since…

That rust tutorial looks like a good place to start. RogueBasin has a good set of articles covering different aspects of roguelike building, including procedural generation: http://roguebasin.com/index.php/Articles

There's also this port of "the complete roguelike tutorial" from python to rust: https://github.com/tomassedovic/roguelike-tutorial

Watabou has created many great projects. Besides the already mentioned Pixel Dungeon, check out these other generators: - Neighborhood generator: https://watabou.itch.io/neighbourhood - One Page Dungeon: https://watabou.itch.io/one-page-dungeon - ProcGen Mansion: https://watabou.itch.io/procgen-mansion - Village Generator: https://watabou.itch.io/village-generator - Perilous Shores: https://watabou.itch.io/perilous-s…

These tools are great, and a little amusing sometimes. Description from a generated dungeon:

> Long after the Blind Lady's fall the den remained deserted. Currently it is overrun with eagles, which don't care about the history of the place. Rumors say that a legendary looking glass Torthos-Tyroth is hidden here.

Darn eagles.

If you like this, you need to check out Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator: https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ It generates a complete, customizable fantasy map with towns and factions. It also integrates this city generator.
