Daily Procedural Map Generator

Use this template

"A customized GitHub Action for Technical Design Portfolio"

This is a bot repository that automatically generates a procedural map every day.
Now, it also provides JSON map data for game development integration.
It was created to study and apply Automation and Procedural Content Generation (PCG) algorithms.

How It Works

It generates organic looking cave maps using the Cellular Automata algorithm.

  1. Initialization: Randomly places walls (⬛) and floors (⬜) on a grid.
  2. Smoothing (Simulation): Checks the neighbors of each cell.
    • If neighbors > 4 walls -> The cell becomes a wall.
    • If neighbors < 4 walls -> The cell becomes a floor.
  3. Automation: A Python script runs daily at 09:00 (KST) via GitHub Actions to update the section below.

Getting Started

You can run the script locally to generate a map or fork this repository to run the automation on your own profile.

1. Setup for Your Profile (Recommended)

The easiest way to run this bot is to use this repository as a template.

Step 1: Create a Repository

Click the Use this template button at the top of this page to create a new repository.

Step 2: Configure Permissions

To allow the bot to update the README, you need to grant write permissions.

  1. Go to Settings > Actions > General.
  2. Scroll down to Workflow permissions.
  3. Select Read and write permissions.
  4. Click Save.

Step 3: Update Git Configuration

  1. Open the .github/workflows/main.yml file in your new repository.
  2. Find the following lines:
    git config --global user.name "Daily Map Generator"
    git config --global user.email "Example@github.com"
  3. Change "Daily Map Generator" and "Example@github.com" to your GitHub username and email.
    (This ensures the daily commits are correctly attributed to you.)

The Action is scheduled to run daily. You can also manually trigger it via the Actions tab.

2. Run Locally

If you want to test the map generation algorithm on your local machine:

  1. Clone the repository
    git clone https://github.com/DevBawky/Daily-Procedural-Map-Generator.git
    cd Daily-Procedural-Map-Generator
  2. Run the script
    python generate_map.py
