John Harris<p>The message sent earlier about the preview event of <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/RoguelikeCelebration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoguelikeCelebration</span></a> had an error: it actually begins around 6 PM Eastern time. I think the other times are correct, sorry.</p>

Roguelike Celebration<p>We're now in Yerba Buena, near the amphitheatre, stocked up with Canadian snacks and a convenient picnic blanket.

Mark Gritter<p>The original Rogue level algorithm picks a width for each room between 4 and 25, and a height between 4 and 7.</p><p>Ignoring "gone" rooms, that gives 22^9 * 4^9 possibilities with only a 32-bit seed. So some combinations of rooms must be impossible! How does the subspace of rooms produced by the limited seed space compare with the theoretical distribution if rnd() was really random?</p><p>Weekend project, maybe? I have been thinking ever since <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/RoguelikeCelebration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoguelikeCelebration</span></a> about how small RNG seeds (or poor PRNG algorithms) limit the expressive range of PCG in ways that might be unexpected.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ProceduralContentGeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProceduralContentGeneration</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/PseudoRandom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PseudoRandom</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Rogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rogue</span></a></p>
