Hmm, I wonder what happens when you addDoor in the middle of open space? Or
a door that has all its wall on one side, none on the other? I think this
could lead to problems with rooms, or make very complicated
special-case-checking neccessary. So I'd prefer if we had two types of
walls, walls with doors and walls without, but no doors as separate
DungeonElements. The Wall without door could be the same class, just using a
different constructor (or default values in the same constructor). And a
higher level design program could have a function "AddDoorToWall", but in
the dungeonmaker itself we'd only have doors as parts of walls. Would that
mess up your plans? I'm pretty sure it would be simpler to code, and less
error prone.
