The ReadMe file was left out of the Mac packages, so you may want to save a copy. Source code is included in the packages below.

It should compile easily on most systems.

Maze Generator has a console interface and is written in portable ANSI C++. Version 1.3 of Maze Generator adds the ability to create levels in multiple worlds with 9 different styles (combinations of bricks). I may add some of these other features in the future. Maze Generator creates random mazes of only moderate interest. Maze Generator is a more recent experiment in level generation and allows the creation of sets of random mazes laid out in a horizontal plane in the 3-D Lode Runner world. I originally wrote Square Creator in Chipmunk BASIC, but it is now ported to ANSI C++. (Of course, the LR2 editor writes level files as well, but Square Creator programatically creates the level layout without human interaction). Square Creator was designed as a proof of concept to show that it is possible to program a computer to make unique Lode Runner 2 levels.

You can choose the size of the platform that it creates.

It always creates a square platform with an exit in the center and a gold piece in each corner. The Square Creator program creates VERY simple levels. The levels they create are not very sophisticated yet but I may work slowly on improving the algorithms and invent new algorithms until the software is capable of creating truly interesting and challenging puzzles. So far, I have written two programs: Square Creator and Maze Generator. There are now programs by several authors in existence that make levels for Lode Runner games. LR2 Level Generators is a collection of computer programs that I have been developing since 2003 to automatically generate new random levels for Lode Runner 2.
