How To Create Backrooms Procedural Generation in UE4!
Hi! Here is a backrooms procedural generation algorithm and explanation, that I created to be very customisable, and I implemented it in UE4 (Unreal Engine v4.72). It isn't infinite, but can be randomly generated at run time to a large scale. The project file and python implementation can be found below.

Algorithm explained:
1) The first paths are created in a grid pattern
2) The paths are extended on every update
3) On every update, there is also a chance to branch off and create another path. The chance of this happening is described by an exponential function, to exponentially increase chance of branching at longer lengths.
4) The paths are stopped when they collide with each other within a distance, or go out of bounds.
