Tiled Gradients

Posted: 21 November 2019, Tags: Plotter - Tiled

Digging through my pile of Glitch projects, I stumbled over an in-progress experiment to show a grid of hatching values. The hatching was simply evenly spaced horizontal lines. Rewinding around the source code revealed a few compelling pieces. Check out the project on Glitch and play with curveDensity and how Tiles determine their density.

The code I rewound to used Math.random() to generate a density.

I then substituted pure randomness for some Perlin noise which sampled the top-left corner coordinates of the tile to produce a value.
