Procedural Shadowdark Dungeon Generator
SD Dungeon Generator is a web app for creating and exploring Shadowdark-inspired procedural dungeons. A user selects a dungeon level, generates a gridded dungeon map, begins in an entrance room under fog of war, and reveals rooms, doors, monsters, treasure, and traps as they explore.

Web-based data source
API/platform: AWS S3 static website hosting for the team's dungeon site, with AWS API Gateway and Lambda as the planned backend path for saved dungeon runs.
Docs: Amazon S3 static website hosting and Amazon API Gateway .
Specific endpoint:
/site/
for the working dungeon generator served inside the Flask walking skeleton.
Free-tier notes: AWS offers limited free-tier S3 storage/requests and monthly request allowances for API Gateway and Lambda on eligible accounts. The team will confirm current limits in the AWS console before depending on them for production traffic.
