Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@trinkets/noise

Random number generators for texture generation.

Perlin Noise

Perlin noise is a procedural, gradient noise generator, developed by Ken Perlin.

Useful for generating numbers that can be used for generating, say, random terrain on a map that has some credible transition from one elevation based terrain type to another.

This implementation started with the code found in Building Up Perlin Noise by Andrew Kensler. The default code is modified from the vanilla implementation described in the blog post to include a "jitter" by default which makes 2d integer coordinates very likely not always return 0.

Installation

npm install @trinkets/noise

Usage

import {perlin, factories} from '@trinkets/noise'
// or import * as random from '@trinkets/noise'

// Generate some value at an x, y coordinate.
console.log(perlin(1, 3))
console.log(perlin(1.1, 3.1))

// Build a new perlin noise method, using a configuration different from the default.
import {random} from '@trinkets/random'

const perlin2 = factories.perlin({
  // function() that, when called, returns an assumed random number between 0 and 1,
  // per the definition of Math.random. Here we use the one from @trinkets/random.
  random,
  // Jitter offsets the zero of the surflet from integer values of x, y.
  // False to turn off jitter (default is true).
  jitter = false,
})
