Show HN: A Seed Explorer for Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
In this story
DCSS is a venerable open source roguelike. Seeded games are an opt-in variant and there's a small community around sharing "interesting" seeds or ones particularly suited to certain builds or playstyles.<p>This runs dcss's dungeon gen and dumps seed data via a patched lua script. It's not meant to be a full enumeration of seeds, nor a complete dump of any particular seed. Just a way to find some interesting ones. I have about 1.3m for the most recent major version and you can add any valid seed to the corpus.<p>It grew out of a tool I'd been dragging around for years and finally decided to put a web interface over.<p>OCaml, sqlite, htmx alright alright.
