Procedural Textures with Hash Functions (douglasorr.github.io)
I'm the sort of person who gets very excited when simple rules create complex behaviour. The other day, I needed a simple hash function that maps $(x, y)$ coordinates to a colour, and found a straightforward equation that ended up being astoundingly rich. Hence this post; to talk about and play with this function.

Mountains, Cliffs, and Caves: A Guide to Using Perlin Noise for Procedural Gen (jdhwilkins.com)
Procedural generation is everywhere—you’ve probably encountered it without even realising. It’s what gives in-game worlds their rolling hills, jagged cliffs, and winding cave systems. And at the heart of it all is Perlin noise: a special kind of randomness that isn’t entirely random at all. It’s smooth where it needs to be, rough when we want it to be, and endlessly customizable.
