A theme file defines the assets to use to build the dungeon. Assign an existing theme to the dungeon actor

• Click Build Dungeon button to generate the dungeon

Randomize Dungeon

• Select the Dungeon actor and inspect the Details Panel

• Click Randomize Seed

• Click Build Dungeon to generate a new dungeon with a different layout

The Randomize Seed button is a helper function which simply changes the Seed value in the dungeon configuration. Changing the Seed value changes the layout of the dungeon. If you assign a random value to a seed and build, you'll get a new dungeon layout

Organization
