Some PCG Algorithms for Dungeon Generation

Recursive Backtracker Maze Algorithm:
 - Go in random unvisited direction and backtrack when each direction is visited until everything is visited

Jamis Buck Maze Algorithm:
 - Similar to Recursive Backtracker
 - Addition of some parameters that control bias of turning

Cellular Automata:
 - Change the state of a grid cell (whether it can be walked on or not) based on neighboring states
 - If (parameter_above = 5) or more of neighbors are "walkable" then this cell is walkable.
 - If (parameter_under = 2) or less of neighbors are NOT "walkable" this this cell is non-walkable.
 - Run the above to "erode" the dungeon
 - No guarantee of connectedness without further work

BSP Tree (Binary Space Partion):
 - Split the component in half either vertically or horizontally at some position
 - Recurse into each half and repeat until the components are "small enough"
 - Add rooms to each resulting component after tree is generated
 - Connect rooms (by connecting each component to its sibling)
 - Connectedness *is* guaranteed as a property of the BSP Tree
