First-install notes

  • Install the noise library first Before trying the examples, open a terminal in the project folder and run npm install simplex-noise. This downloads the library; without it, code that imports simplex-noise cannot start. source
  • Optional: install alea for repeatable noise If you want the same noise pattern every time, also install the alea package. It provides a seeded random-number generator, which helps you reproduce the same pattern instead of getting a new one on every run. source
