Would this be for pen-and-paper players to print out? Or just to show the
DungeonMaker to people without the need to download code?

You mean letting the user position wall tiles (and by implication rooms and
whatever they desire) before the WallCrawlers are let loose? That would be
pretty cool I think. But if you did that, why stop there, why not let the
user also place the design Crawlers? That would actually be an interesting
interactive game all by itself. And writing that as a web app should also
make it easier to write a DungeonDesigner. I wonder: Would it be possible to
design an interface that could work with a PHP-web-frontend for one-shot
dungeon design and a QUB-frontend for interactive dungeon design? That would
be way cool, I think.
