Hi,
I am wondering if I do add some random elements to the new Monty like
move monsters around to different rooms, randomly place gems and gold,
etc if that will really increase replay value for the game or not. For
some it might, and for others not.
Some items like ladders, keys, etc have to be static, but there is
nothing saying that monsters, etc can't be randomly generated.
