Struct NoiseConfig 

pub struct NoiseConfig {
    pub octaves: i32,
    pub x_frequency: f32,
    pub y_frequency: f32,
    pub amplitude: f32,
    pub lacunarity: f32,
    pub gain: f32,
    pub range: (f32, f32),
    pub seed: u64,
    pub permutation: [u16; 512],
}

The Noise Configuration

The Centerpiece of Simple-Simplex. Once you’ve created a Noise Configuration, you can start generating values. Each variable of the NoiseConfig will affect the outputted value. Call the NoiseConfig::new() constructor to set it up.

Fields

octaves: i32

x_frequency: f32

y_frequency: f32

amplitude: f32

lacunarity: f32

gain: f32

range: (f32, f32)

seed: u64

permutation: [u16; 512]

Implementations

impl NoiseConfig

pub fn new( octaves: i32, x_frequency: f32, y_frequency: f32, amplitude: f32, lacunarity: f32, gain: f32, range: (f32, f32), seed: u64, ) -> Self

Creates and new Noise Configuration and Defines FBM Values.

Examples:

 
 use simple_simplex::NoiseConfig;
 
     let config = NoiseConfig::new(
         3, // octaves
         0.01, // x_freq
         0.01, // y_freq
         0.05, // amplitude
         2.5, // lacunarity
         0.5, // gain
         (256.0, 255), // outputted range (max, min)
         67893402, // Seed
     );

For more information on what these values mean, please read the GitHub Documentation.

pub fn generate_range(&self, x: f32, y: f32) -> f32

Generates a range of values generated with Simplex Noise, and enhanced with Fractal Brownian Motion. Returns a simplex noise value WITH Fractal Brownian Motion (FBM) applied. This value is also converted into a range.

pub fn generate_rangeless(&self, x: f32, y: f32) -> f32

Generates Simplex Noise Values, and then applies Fractal Brownian Motion. Returns a Simplex Noise value WITH FBM applied. This is NOT converted into a range.

pub fn generate_raw_range(&self, x: f32, y: f32) -> f32

Generates raw simplex values. DOES NOT apply FBM. Converts return value to the range specified in the NoiseConfig.

pub fn generate_raw(&self, x: f32, y: f32) -> f32

generates raw values, with no FBM or range conversion. returns a simplex noise value WITHOUT Fractal Brownian Motion and IS NOT converted into the specified range.

pub fn analyze(&self, amount: i32)

Outputs data on a noise configuration. This feature is incomplete. Please suggest more analysis data on Github.

pub fn output(&self, size: i32, vector: &Vec<char>)

Output generates noise values to terminal. Width should not be wider than your terminal can handle.

Note: The range of the noise config you output must correlate with theh length of the vector of characters used.

Examples:

use simple_simplex::NoiseConfig;

fn main() {
    let vector: Vec<char> = vec![' ',' ', ' ', '.', '-', '=', 'z','X', '#'];
    let config: NoiseConfig = NoiseConfig::new(
        3, // Octaves
        0.01, // X-Frequency
        0.01, // Y-Frequency
        0.05, // Amplitude
        2.5, // Lacunarity
        0.5, // Gain
        (0.0, (vector.len() - 1) as f32), // range, must be 0, vector.len() -1 when using output.
        97838586 // seed
    );

    config.output(150, &vector);
}

pub fn output_1d(&self, length: i32, height: i32)

Outputs a noisemap onto Terminal in 1d form. The length is the width of the outputted map. For starters, try 100.

The Height is the height of the map. For starters, try 30.

Examples

// Create a noise config called `config`

config.output_1d(30, 100);
