crusoe

Generate small islands with perlin noise!

Take a look at the live demo.

Usage

npm install crusoe | yarn install crusoe

With node:

var crusoe = require('crusoe')

// Generate the island data
var map = crusoe.generateMap()

// Render island with default colors
var colors = crusoe.renderMap(map)

Use in browser by copying /lib/index.js, then:

var crusoe = window.crusoe

// Generate the island data
var map = crusoe.generateMap()

// Render island with default colors
var colors = crusoe.renderMap(map)

• width: Width of the image data. Default: 100.
• height: Height of the image data. Default: 100.
• noiseReduction: Amount of noise reduction to be applied. Default: 10.
• seed: Custom seed. Default: 0.
• size: Size of the island. Default 1.
• elevation: Island elevation above sea level. Default 3.
• lakeSize: Size of lakes on island. Default 3.
