Perlin Noise Query

Hello, according to my research there doesn't seem to be a built in way for using perlin noise in Mini Micro, I think this would be a very awesome and helpful tool. Since a lot of games use it and I imagine more people will want to in the future it would allow people to use it with a built in function maybe instead of learning the way the algorithm works and writing it themselves.

Here is a nice article with code in C# explaining perlin noise

There was a discussion about this on Discord just a couple weeks ago. I know you can't use Discord, though. People pointed out that there are other noise generation methods to consider besides Perlin. Depending on what you're doing, you might want to consider Wave Function Collapse, or Poisson distribution alongside of a Voronoi (for terrain generation). Diamond-Square was also mentioned as a cool one that's fairly easy to implement.

Speaking of diamond-square, Treytomes has ported it to MiniScript in his port of Minicraft: https://github.com/treytomes/microcraft/blob/main/level/levelgen/LevelGen.ms
