Installation:

Package installation:

npm install voxelchain-terrain-generator

Example:

import {TerrainGenerator} from "voxelchain-terrain-generator";

// Generate terrain
const lambda = 0.3;
const resolution = 128;
const terrain = new TerrainGenerator(resolution);
// Generate the terrain
terrain.generate(lambda, () => {
  // Plug in a random number generator (can also be seeded)
  return Math.random();
});
// Do something with resulting terrain data
for (let z = 0; z < resolution; ++z) {
  for (let y = 0; y < resolution; ++y) {
    for (let x = 0; x < resolution; ++x) {
      const state = terrain.getState(x, y, z);
      // If state is positive, then it's a solid grid cell
      if (state > 0) {
        // Write cell into a 3d grid
      } else {
        // Cell is empty, write nothing
      }
    }
  }
}

This tool is inspired by the idea of Brent Werness, who found that in the diamond square algorithm, instead of averaging, you can apply CA rules, which leads to quite interesting results.
