A random dungeon generator that fits on a business card - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19290215 - March 2019 (64 comments)
I've always been a fan of generating mazes by randomly printing /, \, or a space. It ends up slanted, and there's obviously no guarantees of solvability, but it's surprisingly good for how simple it is. Here's a bash version in 50 characters ( https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/26011/7934 ): w=(╱ ╲);while :;do echo -n ${w[RANDOM%2]};done and how it looks like: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fRX05.png
Here is my orthogonal version:
`w=(├┤┴┬─\|);while :;do echo -n ${w:$RANDOM%6:1};done`
It is based on the 1-liner discussed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPtjcSsS2MI>, and uses the PETSCII characters within Unicode.

In what way is what ChatGPT outputs when asked about this code relevant? There are more than 20 LLMs, do we expect to see a comment from each LLM about code submissions?
The code isn't very readable in the submitted form, so I appreciated the interpretation, whether or not it's ChatGPT or something else.

Surprisingly good for what purpose?
I saw this post about 2 hours ago, and I was fascinated by it and curious how it worked. So I decided to de-obfuscate it and add comments. The code was too large for a comment, so here's the gist: https://gist.github.com/paskozdilar/48d7532733ccd11144bb43fe... The approach is quite interesting - it (ab)uses the preprocessor to shorten the syntax of for loops: #define l(a, b, c, d) for (int y = a; y And then it does t…
Yeah, it's surprising how well this approach works. Performance is actually decent.
There is a chance of "dud" levels that only have a couple of rooms, but it's rare. The nice thing about this approach is that it guarantees by construction that every room in the dungeon will be reachable from every other one.
would it fit in a QR code
