AI Map Generation Rules

When creating or expanding location maps for NFT-DND on OneChain, the AI level generator should follow these rules:

Non-rectangular, organic spaces

Avoid perfectly rectangular rooms in wilderness, caverns, and ruins unless the fiction explicitly calls for formal architecture.

• Pad the outer border with impassable terrain.
• Use asymmetric silhouettes and uneven edges.
• Keep the playable outline visually natural.

Preserve transition geometry

Map connections must align across zones.

• Exit width must match entrance width exactly.
• Directional placement should stay consistent.
• Paths should visually continue across zone boundaries.

Always define exits

Connected maps should never leave the exits array empty.

• Every exit must include target location metadata.
• Every exit should reference a valid spawn label.
• Spawn labels must match the destination spawn-point definitions exactly.

Build visual theming into the grid

Maps should not degrade into a plain floor-versus-wall pattern.

• Scatter props such as campfires, rugs, crates, or barrels.
• Use pathing tiles such as cobblestone and bridges where it improves clarity.
• Let biome flavor show up directly in the layout, not only in descriptions.
