I’ve been studing the Nature of Code book and reached the section on Perlin Noise. I got an idea - I can use Perlin noise to generate a table of audio wave tables that I can load into sample-based music programs. I want to write a tutorial about this. I wrote a Java program that works, but I borrow…

Hi @damaru — I agree with everything @scudly said. Also, the discussion about the nature of noise() in Processing and p5.js is here: noise() is not Perlin noise · Issue #7430 · processing/p5.js · GitHub To answer your specific question: the core libraries of Processing are licensed under LGPL 2.1.…

Processing does not use actual Perlin noise. The Processing noise function was borrowed from a demo coding group and shares similar design ideas with Perlin noise but is possibly a little more efficient. If you search, you might be able to find the discussion of its origin. If you want actual Per…

Thanks so much, that’s helpful!

Thanks very much! I mainly wanted to know if the original authors of that code wanted some sort of attribution, but I’ll checkout OpenSimplex first.

Can I reuse some Processing core code?
