Ok, i'll throw away that idea paper.
Hmm....
A hack generator. That'd be nifty

It actually wouldn't be too hard to make one, either; you could have it fill the room with solid blocks, then have the program pick a random block and clear it, then have it move up, down, right, or left, based upon a random number generator. Once it hits an edge or defined boundary, you could have it stop. From there, the hacker could then add in tanks, slopes, and other clipdata, as well as fill in the graphical layers.

I was think more of it generating complete hacks; rooms maps, etc.
It wouldn't be really hard to program, just very time consuming.
OMG FLAN!!!!!!!

About as time consuming as making the actual hack yourself lol

I had a read of the majority of it, but I have to say that I felt you'd have been better off covering the basics of just hacking rooms, doors, and enemies, rather than going straight into tiling and hex work.
Harking back to the earlier days of SMILE, everybody that was hacking it was simply reshaping rooms with existing tiles, and it took a while for anything new (don't misread this as saying hacks were bad until this time) to filter through.
And please don't be disheartened, as I still like DH, and am using it at the moment.
