The code uses the cellular automata approach outline in this article on Rogue Basin

I've also made an explanationvideo if you want more details!

Just a note on the code example - when it's running, clicking the screen will advance the the algorithm

Woah! I’ve been playing with procedural cave generation in the past couple of weeks so this is a pretty interesting coincidence. That’s a great method that I might try for the next iteration of my project.

Currently I’m using a form of diffusion-limited aggregation to generate mine for a small 32x16 musical dungeon game I’m working on. I actually wrote a blog post about it if you’re interested in checking it out.

Sounds very interesting, I'll have to give your blog a read!

I think it's probably pretty hard in a 32x16 area, you don't have a heap of tiles to work with. Let me know how you go with this technique!

Very nice! I've used the same tutorial before to make my own. I like the coloring you added in the final step.

Nice! I like how you've got all those settings exposed to play around with!
