Batch Thirteen: Intersections

It occurred to me that I could generate two rooms and take an intersection of them (i.e., place floor where either of them has floor), and the result would be a viable room, provided they are placed so that at least one walkable tile overlaps when taking the intersection. So I implemented that and ran a fresh batch of samples.

At some point I got tired of the walls being the same color as the floor, so I started specifying a different wall color. (In the game, the wall color would depend on dungeon branch. I chose cyan here because it shows up nicely against the other colors being used.)

Remember how I said the code tries to treat things as mostly the same? A room is a room, even when it's being generated only to get subtracted out of another room. Here are two examples where an intersection got subtracted (from the northeast room on the next map, and from the west room on the following one):

Hmm, I think quadrangles are a little too common, given how distinctive they are and how they dominate the whole feel of the level; I believe I will turn down their freqency/probability in the next batch.
