There’s noise in my pictures

It took a bit longer than I expected (coding progress if inversely proportional to outside temperature), but my noise experiments are done at least for the moment. So, time for some explanation and pretty pictures.

I decided simple value noise (essentially just random values) with Fractional Brownian Motion (fBm) would be enough for now. Besides, with my implementation it will be easy to expand later to Perlin, Simplex or some other type of noise. Natalya Tatarchuk’s talk that I already linked previously has an excellent explanation of fBm when applied to noise. I already have vague plans in mind for more complex multi-stage terrain generation with terrain types, maybe some erosion etc, but I'll have to concentrate on more important stuff first. Like gameplay. But first, the pictures I promised, click for larger versions. And don't mind the ugly terrain texture.
