dungeon navigation plus map

You can create a dungeon of connected rooms easily by creating a passage for each room and linking them appropiatly.

But maybe you want also a kind of mapping tool to show the dungeon-layout to the player. You would have to build that map manually. Therefore I decided to add a dungeon-engine where you construct rooms and connection via scripting. Then the map can be created automatically.
See dungeon.js (engine) and dungeons.js (= example).

Pros

• you dont need to write a passage for each scene
• could be used to build randomized dungeons via scripting
• mapping with position of player and stairs included
• triggering of events onEnter/onExit possible
• oneway connections and canExit-check possible
• smaller memory-consumption since the dungeon is only created if its entered ?

Contra

• due to script overhead, saving in dungeon has to be disabled
• you dont have much possibilitys to modify the appearence of the room (static description)
• there are only this possible connection-directions: S,N,W,E,stairup,stairdown
• its tedious to debug on enter/onexit events
