- This is a scratchpad or whiteboard for capturing ideas quickly without constraining the input by formatting, eloquence, or quality.  It is best to keep entries here terse and to the point.  If they merit greater attention and detail, they should be moved to a new location.  If after review, the ideas seem hard to limit in scope or impractical, they should either be deleted or moved to other wiki locations.  Scratchpad content deemed not compatible with the client namespace premise described in the [[server:introduction]], but worthy of retention could be relocated to other wiki namespaces like:  [client], [content], [dev], [dev_todo], and [ideas].

  Organization of the scratchpad is expected to be somewhat dynamic and spotty, but do try to aggregate similar things together.

+ While most of the world exists in predefined maps, Crossfire implements a random map generator. Among those is a rogue-like generator in the style of NetHack. This has the potential to give players a never-ending adventure, but suffers from several issues in its current implementation. For one, the layout bears almost no resemblance to the actual game.
+ 
+ The goal behind this project is to port NetHack's random level generator(s) to Crossfire. When the port is complete, the cave entrance to the Dungeons of Doom can be added to the world map for all to enjoy.
