Hello there, and welcome to my recent obsession. Randomizers: a modification of an original game that takes all the items, powerups, and sometimes enemies in a game, and completely remixes their locations to give you a new experience with each newly generated game. Here I explain the general concept behind randomizers, before getting into detail about one in particular, its original game and how the randomizer improves it, as well as a larger randomizer architecture that you can try many many different randomizers from, all from one location! I hope you enjoy!
