OpenApparatus

OpenApparatus is a small ecosystem of open-source tools for procedurally generating reproducible navigation environments — multi-room floor plans, mazes, and behavioural-research apparatuses — with deterministic output suitable for replication across studies.

Same seed + same parameters → same environment. Methods sections only need to record the seed and parameters for a result to be reconstructable.

The three repos

The project is split across three repositories, each with a focused responsibility:

Repo	What it is	Audience
core	Engine-agnostic .NET library — topology, geometry, determinism.	Library consumers, integrators.
studio	Cross-platform Avalonia desktop app for authoring, previewing, and exporting floor plans.	Researchers, designers.
unity	Unity Package Manager (UPM) package consuming Core to spawn environments in scenes.	Unity developers.

Where to go next

• Getting started — pick the path that matches your role.
• Core — for working directly with the .NET library.
• Studio — for authoring floor plans without writing code.
• Unity — for using floor plans in Unity scenes.

Status

Pre-release — under active early development. Public APIs are unstable until v0.1.
