separate

Generate game content procedurally — seeded deterministic RNG, value/Perlin/ Simplex noise for terrain and heightmaps, grid dungeon generation (rooms + corridors, BSP, random walk), and weighted loot/drop tables. Engine-neutral algorithms. Use when the user mentions procedural generation, perlin/simplex noise, random seed, dungeon generator, heightmap/terrain, or loot tables.

When to use

• Use to generate maps, dungeons, terrain heightmaps, item drops, or any content
• Use when results must be **reproducible from a seed** (debugging, daily
• Use to pick weighted random outcomes (loot rarity, spawn tables).

When not to use

• engine tile API painting
• routing AI through generated maps
• hand-paced level design
