Noise Buffering

[jeremydouglass]

If you are trying to use the same (seeded) noise between Processing / p5.js / processing.py sketches with consistent results, you can also use CommonRandom. This gives cross-mode stable output from any given seed.

Cross-language random numbers

I have developed a set of demo sketches that implement simple cross-language random numbers. The goal is to make it easy to adapt a sketch between Processing (Java), p5.js (JavaScript), or Processing.py (Python) such that passing the same random seed to each version will generate the same “random” playback from a generative artwork. This is currently not possible using the core modes / libraries, as they each use different underlying systems for generating random numbers. One solution is to im…
