I played around a lot with this library: https://github.com/BorisTheBrave/DeBroglie Fun stuff, but I struggled to get a lot of value out of using it for level gen. You get cool patterns, but levels need structure and intent to be interesting. Adding constraints to the algorithm becomes a big-oh nightmare and you end up with frequently unsolvable paths as the algorithm recurses. The game Bad North used it to good effect, so depending on the game it may be a very useful tool in the toolbelt. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0bcZb-SsnrA
