| The aim of this thesis is to create a system that can generate 2D maps for rogue-like games. | This is actually a "multi-topic" theme that can be shaped in various directions. The aim of such thesis is to create a system that can generate 3D maps for some game. |

| You will design a pluggable system that can generate a map given the set of plugins and designer's input. The idea is to generate the map in a hierarchical manner, dividing it to smaller areas that are given as inputs to "area/building/room/items plugins". The map will be hierarchically defined by the designer (e.g. its a village with 5 houses, a shop, 2 farms, stables and a pond + there is a stream running through the village with a pond) together with constraints (stables are near the farm, one of the house has at least 3 rooms, etc.) and the generator will try to generate an output that conforms them. If the system is done right, it should be easy to reuse it to generate whole kingdoms or reuse it for graphical grid-based games. | The topic is quite saturated, however I am not aware of any system that would combine everything moreover it is hard to compare different systems together as people are just describing the algorithm and some results. Thus it is unknown if those systems are compatible and, which are actually good.. |

| | Directions you may explore: |
| | <ol> |
| | <li>Find a PG niche (motivation: do something new), this can have more flavours: |
| | <ul> |
| | <li>PG something new</li> |
| | <li>PG something an algorithm exists for but do it better / faster</li> |
| | <li>Pick a PG theme and compare multiple algorithms together</li> |
| | </ul> |
| | </li> |
| | <li>Integrate multiple works together (motivation: we have N ingredients, do they blend together well?)</li> |
