# Welcome to the ALttP Door Randomizer Blog

We're excited to launch the official documentation site and development blog for ALttP Door Randomizer! This site serves as a central hub for all things Door Rando - from comprehensive feature documentation to release notes and development updates.

## What's New Here?

### Comprehensive Documentation

We've reorganized and expanded our documentation to make it easier to find what you need:

- **[Features Guide](/features)** - Complete reference for all randomizer settings and modes
- **[Installation & Usage](/installation)** - Step-by-step setup instructions for all platforms
- **[Known Issues](/known-issues)** - Tracking current bugs and limitations
- **[Roadmap](/roadmap)** - Our vision for the future of Door Randomizer

### Development Blog

This blog will be your source for:

- **Feature highlights** - Deep dives into specific features
- **Development updates** - Behind-the-scenes looks at ongoing work
- **Technical articles** - How the randomizer works under the hood

## What is Door Randomizer?

If you're new here, Door Randomizer takes the ALttP randomizer experience to the next level by shuffling the connections between rooms within dungeons. Walk through a door in Eastern Palace and you might end up in Tower of Hera, Ice Palace, or anywhere else!

Key features include:

- **Four shuffle modes** - From basic (within dungeon) to crossed (full chaos)
- **Three intensity levels** - Control how thoroughly dungeons are shuffled
- **Advanced key logic** - Multiple algorithms to prevent self-locking
- **Pottery shuffle** - Randomize items under pots with multiple modes
- **Shopsanity** - 32+ shop locations with intelligent pricing
- **Enemizer integration** - Enemy and boss randomization with logic
- **Custom seeds** - Create your own dungeons and rooms
