Noise Toy is a program that lets you generate 64x64 noise-based images!

Noise Toy was written because i needed to write  a level generator for my other project, but I needed it to be separate, so it could be easily adjustable,  without constantly recompiling the whole thing. 

It was a great learning experience of the basics of procedural generation and cellular automata.

I thought it would be fun to share around with people, so I wrapped the project up in a nice little box, and now its available as an small toy program.

You can:

Generate a Cave!

With Cave Maker you can generate various of caves using:

• Noise Variation - random chunks will have changed pixel density.
• Edge Jaggering - cave edges will appear jagged.
• Cave Columns - Dwarf Fortress-like columns will appear inside of caves.  

Generate some Ores!

With the Ore Distributor you can create distributions of ores using:

• Ore Chance - how often ores have a chance of generating.
• Neighbors Needed to survive - a cellular automata rule: how many neighbors an ore pixel needs to survive the iteration
• Neighbors Needed for a new cell - a cellular automata rule: how many neighbors an empty pixel needs to become a new ore pixel.

If you'd like to mess around creating random caves, then this program is just for you!
