adventure-demo VS OpenSimplex2

So, how you do it. You need a text file with names and descriptions of locations, and the routes between them, like this. (I knocked this up a few weeks back because I was tired of seeing people doing it wrong.)

I knocked this up as an example 'cos I keep meeting people who don't know how to write text-based adventures. It just does locations but you can see how objects can be dealt with in a similar way. All the descriptions of the location and the map are in the text file dungeon.txt: the Python code has logic that can understand any such text file. Code and data are separate. My code is no longer than yours, but I can have as many locations as I want just by adding them to the text file, whereas you will have to write, test, and debug a new bit of code for every location until your source code is a sprawling monstrosity.

Wow you have been playing with noise for a while :) . It amazes me all the different noises that exist now.. Perlin, Simplex, OpenSimplex, OpenSimplex2S, OpenSimplex2F, Worley... If you are curious about OpenSimplex https://github.com/KdotJPG/OpenSimplex2

Probably true, although a neat repo for open simplex is https://github.com/KdotJPG/OpenSimplex2

This may not answer what you're actually looking for - but a few years ago I found a library for coherent noise in Java, which at least meets my needs. I use bits and pieces of the Open Simplex Noise implementation from that library. It's unlicense/CC0, so easily copy-paste-able straight in to one's own project. https://github.com/KdotJPG/OpenSimplex2/

So I was looking for a noise function, and I found this repo from the author of the OpenSimplex algorithm. And in the GLSL implementation, which is the one I'm gonna use, since I want to generate terrain with compute shaders, the function%20%7B) looks like this:

If you want to feel safer from that, you might opt to use one of these instead. Use the ImproveXY endpoint to get a Z that repeats after 500.5626833874055. Go up one directory and into the glsl directory if you need GLSL versions instead .

Fair. I definitely agree Simplex has some characteristics that don't work great in some places. Especially when you threshold near zero of a single octave. Have you tried OpenSimplex2S? It's made to be less "bubbly" than standard simplex. In own repo, In FastNoiseLite, [Shader preview (3D noise)[https://www.shadertoy.com/view/ttdGR8]. Both the 2D function and 2D slices of the 3D function might be worth looking into if you haven't yet.

Here's a link to the original implementation: github.com/KdotJPG/OpenSimplex2/blob/master/glsl/OpenSimplex2.glsl
