ASMR coding Backrooms Maze app (Part 3): recursive room generation algorithm
12This is an ASMR styled coding video. Watch me code and create a Backrooms-like maze program in Java from scratch while giving you ASMR tingles.
This is part 3 of a multi-part series where I create a room maze app inspired by the backrooms creepypasta. The series will consist of many small parts where I start from scratch on the first part, all the way to a fully working backrooms 2d GUI app.
In this part I will follow up from where I have left off from part 2 by changing the room generation algorithm. Instead of randomly generating room objects in the 2d maze/grid of rooms I started to work on a recursive algorithm for generating rooms. I start with one room with randomly set doorways placed on the grid, and then recursively generate adjacent rooms as long as there is a doorway to connect to that room.
There were many parts where I had to think for a while before proceeding due to the nature of the algorithm I coded, as I had to only generate rooms that are within the grid as well as making sure that there are no doorways that lead to nowhere.
If you don't know anything about ASMR, briefly, it's essentially a video where noises are being made/played in a way that might trigger sensational triggers such as tingles as a response to these noises.
If you got your sensations and tingles a thumb's up would be highly appreciated!
