1 Creating seed catalogs

Brogue used to come with a file seed-catalog.txt which listed the contents of seeds 1-1000. CE no longer includes this, but fortunately it's easier to create your own.

If you run brogue --help in a terminal, you should see amongst the options:

[--csv] --print-seed-catalog [START NUM LEVELS]
                           (optional csv format)
                           prints a catalog of the first LEVELS levels of NUM
                           seeds from seed START (defaults: 1 1000 5)

(On Windows, run brogue-cmd.bat instead of brogue for this.)

So for example, we could quickly view the first 10 floors of seed 2000 by running

brogue --print-seed-catalog 2000 1 10

To generate the classic catalog to a file:

brogue --print-seed-catalog 1 1000 5 > seed-catalog.txt

Keep in mind that writing catalogs isn't very fast.

Note: on Windows there is a bug where the script only shows the output after it's finished. #399
