I wonder what Nethack does?
I don't know what Nethack does, but I know Angband - I used to maintain my own variant (never got as far as publishing, though). Levels are generated completely fresh on first entry; if you go down to level 2, then down to level 3, then up to level 2, it'll be a *different* level 2. No seeds get saved.
