1:54:57cvaucher Q: The current generator always creates two-tile wide walls when rooms are adjacent. Will you leave it like this because it's easier to include the walls inside the room volume? Would you take the same approach if the tile size were not tied to the traversable size, which would allow for thinner walls, for example?
