Generate procedural content in FXGL — create random dungeon layouts with DungeonGenerator and DungeonConfig (room size, count, grid dimensions), generate perfect mazes with MazeGenerator, convert generated Grid2D cells to spawned game entities via EntityFactory, seed generation for reproducible levels, mark special rooms (start, boss, treasure), solve generated mazes with A*, and integrate procedural levels with SaveLoadService for level codes. Use this skill when building a roguelike, endless runner, procedurally generated dungeon crawler, or any game where levels are generated at runtime rather than hand-crafted.

astarGrid.getCell(x, y).setState(CellState.WALKABLE);
});
// Walls are encoded in the cell edges, not as grid cells.// For A* to respect walls, you need to override AStarGrid movement cost between adjacent cells.// Simpler approach: convert to a 2x scale grid where walls ARE cells:// --- Alternative: wall-as-cell approach (2× scale) ---intW2= mazeGen.getWidth() * 2 + 1;

Procedural Content Placement (Rooms Pass)

Gotchas
generator.getRooms() is valid only after generate() — the rooms list is populated during
generation. Accessing it before calling generate() returns an empty list.
Calling generate() twice with the same seed produces identical output but returns two
separate Grid2D and Room list instances — equality is structural, not referential.
Maze MazeCell walls are edge-based, not cell-based — there are no "wall entities" in
the grid. Each cell knows which of its four edges has a wall. Rendering requires spawning wall
geometry at those edges, not at separate wall cells.
DungeonCell.EMPTY is outside the dungeon boundary — spawning a tile for EMPTY cells
fills the unused grid area. Usually you want to skip them or spawn a solid background tile.
Level-to-level cleanup — call getGameWorld().getEntitiesCopy().forEach(Entity::removeFromWorld)
before regenerating. Using clearLevel() also works but resets the physics world.
A grid and dungeon grid coordinate spaces differ* — the dungeon grid uses tile coordinates
(cell 0,0 = pixel 0,0). The A* grid also uses cell coordinates. Multiply by TILE only when
spawning entities or computing world positions, not when pathfinding.
Large grids are slow to generate — a 100×100 grid with 30 rooms is fast (<10ms). A 200×200
grid with 100 rooms can take >500ms. Generate off the main thread if the grid is large.
Seeds must be the same JVM version — Random(seed) behavior is JVM-defined and stable
across Java 17+ minor versions, but is not guaranteed to match other languages or older JVMs.
