crawl 0.33.1

Everything on this site is true of this build only. A seed number generates a different dungeon on every other version of crawl.

About

A catalog of what Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup generates on a given seed, for browsing and comparing seeds against each other.

What this is

Start a seeded game and the dungeon is fixed before you take a step: the same seed on the same build always lays out the same floors, with the same items on them. This site reads the first several floors of many seeds ahead of time and writes down what it found.

The build is part of the seed

A seed number on its own tells you nothing. The same number generates an entirely different dungeon on every version of crawl, so every page here is scoped to one build named at the top.

How much of the seed space is here

Very little! There are more possible seeds than anyone will ever play, even billions of them would be something like 0.0000001% of the seeds. We got a lot of them, hopefully you can find something cool. If you're looking for something very very specific it may still be out there in the other 99.99999999% of the seeds.

Each seed is also only searched down to dungeon floor 8 to start with. You can deepen individual seeds down to the end of the main dungeon, including Orc, Lair, and their branches. Seed heat is calculated based on the D:8 read, not a total assessment of the seed.

The game

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is free and open source, and lives at crawl.develz.org. This project is not affiliated with DCSS. It is produced by running the game's own dungeon generator over a lot of seeds and reading the results.

The code

The source lives at github.com/jonesmelton/dcss_seeds. Bug reports, feature requests and PRs welcome.
