After accessing Dungeon Scrawl, click 'START SCRAWLING'. The name 'Dungeon Scrawl' seems to be a mess of ' Dungeon Crawl ', an overseas roguelike RPG.



The notes and the latest updates are displayed in the center, so click anywhere else.



The edit screen of the dungeon looks like this. A toolbar is displayed on the left edge of the screen, and when you click the second icon from the top and drag it on the canvas with the grid in the center...



The room was pictured. The cursor snaps to fit the grid, helping the system automatically create neat dungeons.



The third winding icon from the top can depict the passage of the dungeon. In addition to drawing a straight path so as to connect the clicked points, you can also draw a path along a handwritten line by dragging as it is, so you can design a curving path that undulates.



The fourth icon from the top allows you to create a polygonal room by clicking to determine the vertices. Even with this icon, you can drag to create a curved room.



The fifth icon from the top is a hexagon, but when you actually click the canvas, a pentagonal room was created for some reason.



The sixth line icon from the top can make a wall. For example, if you draw a line (blue) around the dungeon as follows...



The wall was drawn as it was.



Click the 7th icon from the top to install the door in the dungeon.



The eighth icon from the top is an icon that creates a staircase that connects to the outside of the dungeon.



If you click the canvas after selecting the 9th icon from the top, a blue straight line appears. Adjust the tilt with the mouse cursor and then click...



The terrain is created by opening it in line symmetry around the blue line.



The bottom icon allows you to enclose and select anywhere. You can copy and paste the selected part, or delete it.



To actually use the dungeon created in this way in a game, you need to print it with a printer. When the dungeon is completed, click 'FILE' at the top of the screen and select 'EXPORT'.



The created dungeon map can be saved in PNG format, PDF format, SVG format, and STL format. This time I'll save it in PDF format so I can print it. In the case of PDF format, select the grid size, paper size and orientation, and click 'Multi-page Rect Download'.



If you enclose the dungeon you want to print with the blue selection cursor, a PDF file will be created automatically and can be downloaded.



When you check the PDF file you actually downloaded, it looks like this. If you print out and paste this PDF file, you can use it in the game as it is.



By default, the dungeon is drawn from directly above, but if you click 'VIEW' at the top of the screen and turn on the 'ISOMETRIC' switch, it will look like a bird's-eye view from an angle. You can also switch the display.



Also, by default, it is designed in gray and black, but there are multiple styles of shades. For example, click 'STYLE PRESETS' at the top of the screen and select the style 'CLASSIC'.



You will be asked to confirm, so click 'YES'.



Then, the design was based on light brown, and the appearance changed to resemble a treasure map.



The dungeons that can be created are not limited to those consisting of rooms and passages. Select the 'EXTRA' tab in the left column and click the 'GENERATE' button in 'MAZE GENERATION'.



Then, a full-scale maze consisting of passages of a certain width was automatically created. It takes a lot of effort to create a maze-type dungeon yourself, but with Dungeon Scrawl, you can easily create it in the browser.



In addition, Dungeon Scrawl is only an open beta version. Shortcut keys are also described on the usage guide page , but at the time of article creation, the shortcut keys sometimes did not work well.
