Quick Start

#include "simplex_noise.h"

// Initialize with default settings
simplex_noise_init(12345);

// Generate 2D noise
double noise = simplex_noise_2d(1.0, 2.0);

// Generate fractal noise
double fractal = simplex_fractal_2d(1.0, 2.0, 4, 0.5, 2.0);

Features

• ✅ 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D simplex noise generation
• ✅ Multiple PRNG algorithms (LCG, Mersenne Twister, Xorshift, PCG)
• ✅ Advanced noise variants (Ridged, Billowy, fBm, Hybrid Multi-Fractal)
• ✅ Fractal noise with configurable octaves, persistence, and lacunarity
• ✅ Performance optimizations including caching and bulk generation
• ✅ Image generation (PPM, PGM, PNG support)
• ✅ Cross-platform build system (CMake)
• ✅ Comprehensive configuration management
• ✅ Professional documentation and examples
