How the randomizer works:

1. You begin the game as normal in Traverse Town on Floor 1.
2. You start with a Key of Beginnings, Key of Guidance, and Key to Truth for Floor 1, as well as infinite (non-gold) map cards of each type and value.
3. Collecting (non enemy) battle cards in the overworld WILL NOT ADD THEM TO YOUR INVENTORY. Collecting these cards are "checks".
4. Collecting enemy cards are also "checks", but these cards do remain in your inventory
5. World opening cutscenes, Rooms of Beginnings, and Rooms of Guidance (locations where you normally receive gold map cards) are also "checks"
6. You are allowed to warp to any floor at the start.
7. Floors for which you do not have Key of Beginnings are locked (and are simply assigned Traverse Town).
8. Some locations hold card packs, which are the only way to obtain (non enemy) battle cards. These card packs come in three varieties: bronze, silver, and gold
9. Friend cards (Aladdin, Ariel, Beast, Donald, Goofy, Jack, Peter Pan) are randomly placed at checks. When you have found all 7, you win.
10. There is a setting in the YAML file to prevent progression items (gold map cards and friend cards) from being behind field enemy cards.
11. There is a setting in the YAML file to prefer friend cards to be behind boss encounters.

KHCOM_RANDO v0.4

Huge overhaul

New features:

• Floors are now default to Traverse Town until you receive the Key of Beginnings for that floor, which then assigns the world to that floor. This allows to castle to be completely open from the start.
• Location names have been renamed and reordered to make it clear where each location is.
• Cards in card packs have been rebalanced
• You no longer have to clear out your appdata folder between runs, the client handles this automatically

Bugs Fixed:

• Fixed the issue where cards were being randomly set to premium. All cards are now standard cards for this randomizer
• Fixed an issue where the player going backwards allowed them to sequence break
• Fixed an issue where your starting deck CP cost was incorrect, but ultimately made it to where you start with the normal starting deck (running without Cure is too difficult)

Continued Bugs:

• Larxene and Oblivion cards are still excluded, trying to understand how their flags work as they are the only bosses fought after the post floor cutscene but before a new floor

KHCOM_RANDO v0.3

Divine Rose assigned to wrong floor

KHCOM AP 0.2

Fixed incompatibility with newer versions of BizHawk

KHCOM AP 0.1

Missable
