Implementation Patterns
Noise Generator
typescriptGenerates terrain heightmaps using octave Perlin noise
class TerrainGenerator {{
generate(width: number, height: number, seed: number): number[][] {{
const noise = new PerlinNoise(seed);
const map: number[][] = [];
for (let y = 0; y < height; y++) {{
map[y] = [];
for (let x = 0; x < width; x++) {{
map[y][x] = noise.octave(x * 0.01, y * 0.01, 6, 0.5);
}}
}}
return map;
}}
