This package provides Racket versions of the Perlin and Simplex noise generators.

Development Development of this library is hosted by GitHub at the following project page:

1 Installation🔗ℹ

raco pkg install noise

2 Functions🔗ℹ

procedure
(perlin x [y z]) → real?
  x : real?
  y : real? = 0.0
  z : real? = 0.0

Calculates the 1D, 2D, or 3D Perlin noise value at the given point.

procedure
(simplex? x [y z]) → real?
  x : real?
  y : real? = 0.0
  z : real? = 0.0

Calculates the 1D, 2D, or 3D Simplex noise value at the given point.
