Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Generated data structure

    {
        grid: [
          [
            Cell {
              x: 0,
              y: 0,
              exits: [],
              blocked: true,
              displayed: false,
              visited: false
            },
            ...
          ]
        ]
        rooms: [
            Room {
                x: 0,
                y: 0,
                width: 0,
                height: 0
            }
        ]
    }

Installation

npm install node-maze-generator

Quick use

const nmg = require('node-maze-generator');
const generator = new nmg.generators.maze({}, {width: 10, height: 10});
const renderer = new nmg.renderer(generator);

Random

utils.js contains a custom pseudo-random seed generator static class called Random. Seeed the Random class with an integer before generating the maze in order to generate consistent data.

const nmg = require('node-maze-generator');
const Random = nmg.utils.Random;

const SEED = 42;
Random.seed(SEED);    // Initialize random
Random.range(0, 10);  // Get a number within range
Random.next();        // Get random integer

Generator classes

Generator classes can be passed as an optional array of objects to the maze generator.

The shape of this data structure is as follows:

    [
        {
            generator: <generator class>,
            options: <options object>
        },
        ...
    ]

Generator (src/generator.js) will iterate over each generator class and instantiate it.

Example

The following example shows how to generate a maze with rooms using the provided room generator.

(also see src/main.js)

const nmg = require('node-maze-generator');
const generator = new nmg.generators.generator([
    {
        generator: nmg.generators.maze,
        options: {
            ...
        },
        generator: nmg.generators.room,
        options: {
        ...
        }
    }
]});
new nmg.renderer(generator);

Multi-floor maze

Use the floors option to generate a multi-floor maze.

Use the src.generators.stairs generator to connect the floors with stairs.

░ = floor

Custom generator classes

Custom generators should match the following pattern.

class SomeGenerator {
    constructor (data: {}, options: {}) {
        // do something with the data object
        this.data.someProperty = 'someValue';
    }
}

See src/room.js and src/maze.js for complete examples along with a list of optional arguments that each class takes.
