This is when a Video Game generates a map, dungeon or level in a random (or, at the very least, unpredictable) fashion. Rather than seeing the same level designs over and over, the player gets a slightly different experience every time they play. Roguelikes and Endless Running Games are the main users of this technique. This can greatly improve a game's replayability, but at the cost of design innovation, since the level designs are limited by the generation algorithm's capabilities. There are two methods of level creation that are generally used: Random assembly: The generation algorithm assembles a game level by picking randomly from a set of manually-created assets and stitches them together. This results in cleaner and more playable levels, since the assets will be tailored to fit together in a modular fashion, but at the cost of variability since players will become accustomed to seeing the same assets repeatedly. Random generation: All level content is created from scratch using a builder algorithm to place terrain. This allows for much more intricate levels, but writing an algorithm to do this is difficult for complex levels. It is generally used only for things like geometry and natural landscapes. Some games opt for a middle ground by using random generation to create the level geometry, then randomly placing assets in the world where appropriate. Usually the computer will impose some restrictions on this randomness, so that, for instance, there is always a path to the end of the level, and the harder monsters won't appear while the player character is at a low level. Since the designer's choices in this area often have a bigger impact on the experience than the random elements do, this trope is also called "procedurally generated levels". Some games allow to save/load or display/type in the pseudorandom seed to generate a map you wish to replay. There are also games that use a fixed seed, so the player gets to play the same world every time. This technique is used in games that contain a game world that is much larger than the memory or disk space it is supposed to fit in. When this happens to items and equipment, see Randomly Generated Loot. |

One of the main ideas underpinning Starbound is to take this as far as possible - it's set in a universe where all planets are procedurally generated and totally unique, from obvious things like the size, climate, biome, and number of moons, to even things like the day/night cycle and gravity level. And not only are the planets procedurally generated but the plants and animals as well. So much is generated that the possibility of any two players getting anything even close to the same planet is statistically impossible. Notes from the developer have suggested that between random starting locations and each player having their stars spawn randomly across the map, everyone's experience will be unique. However, the star's precise coordinates form its seed, so players can share their finds by giving each other these (long) numbers. | |

Diggles is an odd case. The map is generated not at the start of the game, but when you order to explore a part of a dark area. And only for the area you order to explore (or a slightly bigger area if you luck onto a plot-advancing large cave). Thus reverting to an older saved game may result in a radically different map. | |

Dislyte: One of the gimmicks of the Cube Miracle game mode is that the map changes on each visit. As such, there's always different enemies, Esper Projections, and Rune Vertexes. Temporal Tower resets once every 1st of the month, resulting in different enemy formations and rewards, while making you start all over at level 1. |

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum has Turnback Cave, home of Giratina (though in Platinum, you'll only have to go there for Giratina if you failed to obtain in the Distortion World). Each room has four exits, and there are 25 different room configurations (not including Giratina's room). One of these is the "pillar room"; you must find this 3 times before entering 30 total rooms, and then any exit from the third pillar room will lead to Giratina's room (or after Giratina's been captured, an item room). Other than the third pillar room leading to the end and the 30th room leading to exiting the cave if you haven't found three pillar rooms, it's completely random what exit will lead where. note The item in the item room is determined by how many rooms you had to go through to get there, and there is a reward specifically for doing it in just three, so presumably the pillar room is always one of the four options, giving you a 25% chance of finding it each time and thus a 1 in 64 chance of getting it in the minimum 3. | |

Persona 3 randomly generates most of the non-boss floors of Tartarus, although it follows a few design rules. For instance, floors between a Tartarus Boss and a plot-determined barrier will invariably be smaller than the norm, and the party will usually appear extremely close to the stairs to the next floor (with the small inconvenience that The Reaper will spawn that much faster, too.) | |

X3: Terran Conflict and the expansion pack allow players to earn a unique upgrade for their ship which allows it to activate a Blind Jump and jump off of the Portal Network. Unlike normal sectors which are designed by hand, unfocused jump sectors are completely randomly generated. The Unfocused drive typically dumps the player into intergalactic space with occasional Xenon or Kha'ak enemies, and the sectors are the only way to "acquire" the unique Goner Aran mothership. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles have bonus levels that have you running around touching all the blue spheres (which then turn red) and avoiding red ones. Lock-on Sonic & Knuckles with any non-main-Sonic game made before it, and you'll get a Sonic 3 style bonus level unique to that game, and other copies of the same game will play the same stage. The idea is that gamers will want to check out their whole library of games for bonus stages, but this was an unadvertised feature, possibly because it didn't work with games made after Sonic & Knuckles. There are a lot of different bonus levels to find, but there's even more if you connect S & K to the original Sonic The Hedgehog, which has more than 134 million levels (don't get too excited though, repeat levels start appearing after a mere 120 million), and lets you revisit ones you've already played through passwords. | |

Dwarf Fortress randomly generates every starting world. This being Dwarf Fortress, it also generates the history and legends of the land and tends towards realistic landscapes. Nothing like the taste of geology in the morning! It's possible to save and manually set the various random seeds to generate the same world on another computer, but significant changes in world generation prevent the same seed from being usable in different major versions. | |

Doom mods: SLIGE is the first attempt of this as a command prompt based application. It invariably designed cathedral or tomb-like indoor levels. It was so infamous for the community due to people passing off its levels as their own, that the use of it in distributing levels may lead to a ban. OBLIGE features GUI to set up parameters. It was later forked as Obhack, and in 2020 (8 years after OBLIGE was abandoned by the original developer), Obaddon (as of 2022, Obsidian), in which the last two features more prefab assembly that focuses on designing believable architecture and the addition of new textures and story generator. |

Streets of Rogue randomly generates small city districts for each of its floors, along with the option to set a seed for each run. Notably it also includes a level editor that allows players to create new buildings or other terrain features then load up packs of them that will be added to the generation options, meaning the amount of variety is only limited by the effort the player base puts into continually expanding the game. | |

Shadows of Doubt uses a seed to generate a city when a playthrough is started. The city is always square shaped with blocks spaced equally apart, but what occupies each block is randomly chosen to be a park or building based on the seed, and in the case of buildings, the height of it and the apartments and businesses within are generated by the seed. The seed is also used to generate the population of the city in deep detail, every person has a name, address, medical history, personal life, among many other things. Unless a seed is copied and pasted, it’s practically impossible any two players will live in the same city. | |

Tales of Symphonia has Niflheim, while its sequel has Gladsheim. Both consist of nodes on a rectangular grid with connections between them. Niflheim is a timed 15-level dungeon with no save points, and each level requires you to either defeat all enemies on it or find the exit. Gladsheim is an untimed 10-level dungeon with a save point on the third and sixth levels next to the entrance, and the 10th level has a boss fight and nothing else. Apart from the 10th level, each level is an 8-by-8 grid; you start on a random non-edge square and have to go to all 4 corners and defeat the enemy at each corner. | |

Persona: Persona 3 randomly generates most of the non-boss floors of Tartarus, although it follows a few design rules. For instance, floors between a Tartarus Boss and a plot-determined barrier will invariably be smaller than the norm, and the party will usually appear extremely close to the stairs to the next floor (with the small inconvenience that The Reaper will spawn that much faster, too.) Persona 4 does the same thing with the non-boss floors in its dungeons, though there are one or two premade floors without bosses on them in the game. In contrast, the only randomly generated dungeon in Persona 5 is Mementos, where all the sidequests take place. All of the other dungeons ("Palaces") are pre-made, including Mementos' own bottommost floor. |

20XX has a random seed system, although you can enter a seed for a specific runthrough using one of the variant challenges. The pieces are selected from an established lineup of challenges, and then modified based on difficulty: for example, you'll likely see a couple of familiar platform arrangements in the Skytemple, but in later levels, they're covered in lasers and powerful Maceknights that shoot death rays when their shields are struck. | |

The Elder Scrolls Arena and Daggerfall have, with a few hand-crafted exceptions, thousands of procedurally generated towns, cities, villages and dungeons. Arena does this on the fly, while in Daggerfall, they were generated on the developer's computers, then placed on the disk. Morrowind downplays it, as the entire world is hand-built, but some of the dungeon architecture still gives the impression that they may have been randomly generated during development. The extremely limited Level Scaling of enemies and loot further reduces the randomness. Oblivion and Skyrim do this with parts of the landscape, and have the same dungeon architecture feel of Morrowind, but play it straighter in that the enemies and loot within are determined via Level Scaling. |

Water Warfare randomly generates all its maps, though in each of the four map themes (Playground, Beach, Plaza, and Nature Park), certain features will always be consistent. Certain templates will also show up with reasonable consistency based on map size (small or large), game type (Battle Royale, Deathmatch, Treasure Chest, Checkpoint, Point Rally, Defender), and number of players (two to eight). For example, a 1-on-1 Battle Royale on the Playground will always have two hills and no underground tunnel, but adding just one more player allows a tunnel to appear. But no matter how many players are added to a Treasure Chest battle, if it's on the Playground, there will never be a tunnel. (In Mission Mode, however, the maps are always the same for each mission, and not random at all). | |

Storm Impact's TaskMaker franchise has multiple examples: In the original TaskMaker, players who die are sent to Hell, a randomly-generated fire maze from which the player must escape to return to the game. The only condition is that the maze will always have four exits, but only one is actually accessible. In The Tomb of the TaskMaker, three villages (Trading Post, Isles of Muck, and Eyearrass) all have subterranean levels (Subterra, Undertow Cove, and Papyruswork) which are randomly generated. The dungeon of Grayclay and its sub-level Tubors are also randomly generated. However, in all of these examples, the exits are in the same spot every time. |

The Inazuma Eleven series has training centers. The course consists of a rectangular grid of rooms with doors between them. You start at a random room in the bottom row, one (possibly more, but you're locked in as soon as you find one) random top-row room is designated as the goal and is larger than usual, and the two are always connected by a path through a series of unlockable doors. Aside from the goal room, each room also contains either a free item or a battle at the center, and picking up the item or winning the battle opens all unlockable doors in the room (from the side you're on only; doors can be unlocked twice, once from each side). Losing a battle kicks you out, while reaching the goal room pits you in a full-fledged soccer match which gives everyone on your team a permanent stat boost if you win. Each time you play, the set of unlockable doors and each room's contents are randomized. As you progress in the main story, the grid gets bigger, the battles get harder, the item drops get better, and the stat boosts for clearing the whole course are also increased. Additionally, the layout tends to vary based on the course you pick (which determines which stat(s) get boosted if you win); the Stamina Course in particular tends to have the path snake around and go through nearly every room in the grid, with branches leading to dead ends being few and short, while some others tend to have maze-like layouts. | |

Diablo features randomized dungeon layouts which include a handful of required rooms. Diablo II does the same, though single-player maps do not change unless the original is deleted, or if the player plays online. These levels were more random before the first few patches; later on, they changed the random generator to be less annoying. | |

Maps in Hytale's Adventure mode are randomly-generated. Unlike its inspiration, however, these maps are split into zones, each with different rules for the world generation system to follow; zones have their own biomes, cave systems, blocks, creatures, races, dungeons, coastal features, etc. Sometimes, these zones will collide and create fun environmental quirks, which are what the dev team calls "happy little accidents". Even the deep ocean kind of counts as a zone, and the "infinite lands" can be found beyond it. Not counting the ocean, there are at least six zones on the game's main planet of Orbis alone, with two as of yet unannounced. | |

Elite: The game has eight galaxies with 256 procedurally generated planets each (2,048 in total). The seed for generating a galaxy is 48-bit, and the game was initially going to include a galaxy for every possible seed value (282 trillion galaxies with 72058 trillion planets in total), but they thought that would be overkill. The developers had problems with the mere 2000 they chose. First they had to rewrite the seed several times when it generated planets with obscene names and second there are a few systems that, if you arrive at (Via the hugely expensive, one use, intergalactic hyperdrive), you can never leave because they are too far from other systems. Frontier: Elite II fits a galaxy of 100 billion star systems on a 3.5" DD floppy. All of this is procedurally generated apart from a small scripted islet which contains the planetary systems of Sol and many other familiar stars. Elite Dangerous likewise has a full galaxy of over 100 billion stars, each with its own planetary and ring systems and sometimes extra suns. A few hand-designed and hand-modified systems exist, such as Sol, and some systems have unique descriptions, but otherwise everything is procedural. |
