MS DOS Batch Dun-Gen v1.0

[Swollow]

(Windows only) sorry mac users



This is a MS DOS Batch file I created that randomly generates little dungeon maps, you can navigate through them using the WASD Keys and press Q to save the map, to load a map find the map you want to load, rename it to just "Map.bat" and place it in the same directory as the game file, I will eventually make saving and loading more user friendly, and later add stuff like enemies and treasure and RPG

Controls
WASD - Move
Q - Save
R - Regenerate Map

Tell me what you guys think

More progress
rewrote the generating script, made it load maps more efficiently


this is the generator randomly creating a single large room

-Finish Database 40% Complete
-Treasure/Items 30% Complete
-Crafting
-Fight System
-Shops
-Better Map Generation 10% Complete
-Magic
-More Efficient Movement Finished

Blocks now generate with correct orientations, so it looks nicer

looking at the picture, not really impressed
i was expecting more like actual explorative terrain, but that just looks like random noise with no custom changes at all.

but i guess the feature that lets you move is cool. what did you make this with btw

tl;dr

MS DOS Batch

Its ridiculously hard to program anything in batch, I might be able to manage to make the terraining a little bit better

Could you explain how you're getting keyboard input with batch?
I've been wondering how to do so for the longest time..

a little c++ file called kbd.exe
if you check the code you should figure out how to use it

Heres the input codes for most keys



Enemies being worked on
