Room generation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Begin looking into techniques for generating interesting rooms and populating 
them with game entities. Rooms should be easily linkable via portal.

Began working on a homemade room partitioning algorithm. Results aren't so bad! 
I think I can refine the second stage (green walls) a little more.

Now those pesky double-walls should be gone, for the most part.

Noting this here: the current algorithm produces fairly different results 
depending on the number of rows (R) in the room. Smaller values for R lend 
themselves to a larger quantity of smaller chambers, whereas larger values for 
R generally produce larger chambers. It may be possible to segment a room into 
multiple tiers and run the algorithm on each slice if smaller and plentiful 
sub-rooms are desired.

Hell, it could even be called recursively on any rectangular chamber, given 
certain parameters.

We've got doorways! Next up is room population, starting with portals. Linking 
them will be a beast all of its own. I have a few ideas for adding water that 
could be extended to a cavern-like room generator.
