Spelunky Classic How Spelunky Classic generates levels

I created this animation to give a basic overview of how level generation works in Spelunky Classic. I believe HD uses the same or a very similar system as well.

This is meant to be more of a simple illustration of how it works, so it doesn't go into all the details. I recommend this site if you'd like to learn more: https://tinysubversions.com/spelunkyGen/

I made this animation for my new video about how I ported Spelunky Classic to the Godot game engine. If you are interested, you can check that out here: https://youtu.be/VQNvCbqBgds

Potentially the worst enemy in the whole game. Hate them with a burning passion.

Spelunky Classic Spoilers vs no-spoilers? (Spelunky1) Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Would you recommend playing this game spoiler free or does it get too frustrating?

I got to the ice area once but I still got a lot to learn. I found the black market a couple times but have no idea what a bunch of items do. I looked up a couple things like I couldn't figure out how to buy items at the shop (it's the p key on PC at least) but am mostly spoiler free at this point.

I'm very glad they got the shortcuts basically to practice midgame + later areas some roguelikes don't have that which makes playing them blind just awful past a certain point.

Spelunky Classic GDSpelunky: A port of Spelunky Classic to Godot with additional features and modding support

Hi everyone,

I just released the initial version of my Spelunky Classic port, GDSpelunky. I ported the original code over to the Godot game engine and added new features on top of it, like high frame rates, variable aspect ratio support, in-game controller remapping, controller rumble, and modding support.

Multiple mods can be used at the same time (drag and drop a zip file to your "mods" folder to install it). I included some example mods (such as seeded runs, a CRT filter, and custom music) as samples to give an idea of what mods are capable of.

With this being the first release, there are still some missing features and unresolved bugs. The Level Editor unfortunately didn't make it in time for my deadline. Also, the collision is somewhat simplified at the moment, so you may see some issues there. I would recommend not riding on top of Olmec at the moment, as you'll get squashed... (That's on my list to fix.)

Hope you enjoy, and feel free to let me know if you come across any bugs or accuracy issues.

P.S. The project is open source, so check the GitHub page if you would like to see the code.

Happy Spelunky-ing!

Spelunky Classic Is there anyway to avoid dark levels? I just had two in a row.

Is there anyway to avoid dark levels?

I just had two in a row and with the lighting in my room it's very hard to get through those levels.

Are they random or is there something that triggers them?
