Procedural generation (or “procgen” as the cool kids call it) is a way of creating content algorithmically instead of designing it by hand. In games, that usually means levels, maps, enemies, or items are generated at runtime using a set of rules plus a bit of randomness. So instead of designing one dungeon, you design a system that generates many. That’s what gives roguelikes their replayability: Every run is different Layouts change every time Something Something In GitHub Dungeons, that system is tied to your repo. The layout is seeded by your latest commit, so the same code produces the

What is open source?

Open source software (OSS) refers to software that features freely available source code. In contrast with “closed source software,” OSS is publicly available for anyone to use and build upon. This means that all of the work, including the codebase and communication between users, is available for everyone to see. If you’re just getting started in the world of software development, browsing and contributing to open source projects is a great way to dip your toes into large, impactful projects used by countless users worldwide. GitHub is the home for open source software, so let’s look at how t
