digitalmars.D - Port of libnoise to d

reply "Roderick Gibson" <kniteli gmail.com> writes:
Hey guys. Just wanted to let anyone interested know that I got 
libnoise ported into a (barely) workable state. I actually did 
this last year, but got held up with other things and never got 
around to actually getting it working. So now I have! I've added 
a couple of things to it as well, the biggest one being a simplex 
noise generator.

It's still in a very rough state but it is usable. If anyone 
wants to take a look or grab it it's on my github: 
https://github.com/kniteli/libnoise-d

Building is currently a pain so I'd recommend just importing the 
sources directly.  I'm going to get the library sorted out as I 
go along, as I'm playing around with coherent noise terrain 
generation.

Oh yeah, one last thing, here's some cool formations generated 
with the simplex generator in a voxel engine:

Can you believe that used to be a cube?

This is relevant to my interests, by "rough state", what do mean 
exactly?

Well, for example, building currently just sprays a bunch of 
import files into a directory with no structure, making them 
useless without putting them into their directory structure. A 
couple of the modules had naming collisions with d reserved 
keywords (namely, module and const) and so I've renamed them 
temporarily until I can settle on a permanent name.

Finally, I can't get the Cache module to build at all (still 
don't know why), so I have it removed from the build. Other than 
that it seems to work just fine.

I should mention it builds fine, it just has oddities. Also, it 
only supports dmd at the moment, you'll have to setup your own 
build for other compilers.
