gollark: I also don't get what you mean by doing it in radial layers.
gollark: I'm not sure what you mean by abstract structures, but it has... tables and such.
gollark: I want to do some degree of procedural generation, hence why I'm using an actual programming language.
gollark: Lua, actually.
gollark: How might I go about implementing a simple text adventure thing on a {4,5} tiling? I think it should probably just be represented as a graph for most operations, but I have no idea how to actually build one (incrementally/lazily) for it. Some page on the HyperRogue says that you can identify tiles by a path from the origin, but I don't know how you would make a canonical form for those/check if they are equal to each other.
