I think a generator should put some times on the map and select starting
positions. 

The code should be readable, and the style conventions should be used.

If the generator gives bad results noone will use the maps created by
the generator. But i think that the more generators we have the chances
get higher that we get a good one.

The maps generated with gen 6 aren't fair, doesn't look good ... but i
think it's a step into the right direction.
