FA-86374 / Procedural level generation constraints / Member archive

Level reachability flood fill: Water blocks swimmers · case 04

Levels requiring swimming are rejected even when the player can swim.

Member previewVariant 4 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

grid rows of '#' wall, '.' floor, 'D' door (passable), '~' water (passable only when swim) and 'E' exit. From start [row, col], 4-neighbour flood fill. Returns {reachable: number of reached cells including start, exit: whether an E cell was reached}.

Why this case matters

Procedural generators silently emit unplayable or unfair levels when a single constraint check uses the wrong boundary, axis, neighborhood or update order; the defect is visible in exact generated geometry.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
