The Goal

We will describe how to create "stick and ball" caves, meaning there are balls (nodes) connected by sticks (edges).

---

The Theory

See this page for the theory of how this type of cave works.

Creating These Using the Lua-to-C Chunk Generation API

See this pdf for using a few built-in Chunk Generation API functions for creating stick and ball caves. These can be used to create a simple "hello world" example, but they do not provide fine control.

See also "Basement Floor 4" of the package_tutorial1 package that comes with the game. There are rooms which show how to use these cave creation functions.
