See the original post for details about the rules for how the castle is generated. For navigation, the rules are that any two horizontally adjacent rooms are connected, and any two vertically adjacent Hallways are connected via staircase.

Hit the "Randomize School" button to completely generate a new map. Hit the "Shuffle Rooms" button to generate a new room layout, keeping the name of the school the same.

If you select the checkbox to use the trump suit, and then shuffle the rooms, then the castle will generate with an extra 24 cards added to the mix. A Cavelier for each suit, and 20 additoinal trump cards in addition to the Excuse and Pagat, which replace the jokers. These are detailed below:

  2. Thank you.
    I think it can be used for just magic castles, not necessary only schools; just assign each room a slightly different meaning.

    1. I've uploaded a standalone version of the castle generator here. Feel free to tweak it and reuse it however you see fit. If you just want to change the names of the rooms, that should be pretty easy by just opening the file in a text editor.
