Do any of you have some links for algorithms on generating random puzzles? Not sudoku or crosswords, but like stuff you would find in Chip's Challenge.

From the title, I thought this thread was the name of a generation of people. You know, like generation x or whatever. I was intrigued as to why a generation would be named that. Had some secret Russian education program been raising children to see everything in life as a game, an objective to be conquered?

Then I clicked and was disappointed.

You're in /prog/. You should expect words like generation to be programming related, not family related.

I have one called "What Wiki Page?" It goes to the Wikipedia homesite, puts every link in an array, picks a random on, goes there, and repeats this process hundreds of times. It then picks out a paragraph, and you have to guess what page it is on. You also learn by doing it, so I like it.

These 2 games practically reinvented their own genres.

Nethack reinvented the roguelike genre, and Diablo reinvented the realtime ripoff of Nethack genre.

You say it like Starcraft is realtime ripoff of a boardgame genre.

I have to say >>20 has a point, calling Diablo a Nethack ripoff is being far too kind.

To call Diablo a shitty game is an insult to shitty games. To call it a game at all is a crime against humanity.

Nethack pretty much reinvented gaming. You're not giving it the respect it deserves.
