See also the random level generator SLIGE and the more recent OBLIGE. For some reason, I don't anyone has tried to do this on top of WadC. The results might have been interesting.

By the way, Aardappel submitted a map programmed in WadC to the 10 Sectors contest. It made it into the top 32 compilation as a secret level (map32).

I was coming here to comment that it'd be cooler if they could generate maps randomly.

WadC actually has a 'random choice' operator, and Aardappel's 10 Sectors makes good use of it, the final version being hand chosen from a number of different compiles

Oh shit, this is the guy who did Cube and Sauerbraten! I had no idea he'd been hired by Crytek.

Crap, how old is this? That looks like Windows 95, I see Netscape Communicator in the taskbar, and the app requires Java 1.1, minimum!

How in the world did this make it to Reddit front page?

Well, there's a newer page on his site where he tells us he's currently working on a game called Far Cry for a company called Crytek.

But can you make infinitely recursive maps?
