love.math.simplexNoise

Available since LÖVE 12.0
This function replaces love.math.noise.

Generates a Simplex noise value in 1-4 dimensions. The return value will always be the same, given the same arguments.

It is widely used for procedural content generation.

O.png The return value might be constant if only integer arguments are used. Avoid solely passing in integers, to get varying return values.  


Function

Generates Simplex noise from 1 dimension.

Synopsis

value = love.math.simplexNoise( x )

Arguments

number x
The number used to generate the noise value.

Returns

number value
The noise value in the range of [0, 1].

Function

Generates Simplex noise from 2 dimensions.

Synopsis

value = love.math.simplexNoise( x, y )

Arguments

number x
The first value of the 2-dimensional vector used to generate the noise value.
number y
The second value of the 2-dimensional vector used to generate the noise value.

Returns

number value
The noise value in the range of [0, 1].

Function

Generates Simplex noise from 3 dimensions.

Synopsis

value = love.math.simplexNoise( x, y, z )

Arguments

number x
The first value of the 3-dimensional vector used to generate the noise value.
number y
The second value of the 3-dimensional vector used to generate the noise value.
number z
The third value of the 3-dimensional vector used to generate the noise value.

Returns

number value
The noise value in the range of [0, 1].

Function

Generates Simplex noise from 4 dimensions.

Synopsis

value = love.math.simplexNoise( x, y, z, w )

Arguments

number x
The first value of the 4-dimensional vector used to generate the noise value.
number y
The second value of the 4-dimensional vector used to generate the noise value.
number z
The third value of the 4-dimensional vector used to generate the noise value.
number w
The fourth value of the 4-dimensional vector used to generate the noise value.

Returns

number value
The noise value in the range of [0, 1].

Notes

There are many webpages which discuss Perlin and Simplex noise in detail.
