Behavior

Save Automatically?

If active, Pens will autosave every 30 seconds after being saved once.

Auto-Updating Preview

If enabled, the preview panel updates automatically as you code. If disabled, use the "Run" button to update.

Format on Save

If enabled, your code will be formatted when you actively save your Pen. Note: your code becomes un-folded during formatting.

/* this function returns a function which can be used as a noise generator
   the returned functions takes no parameter : it is supposed to be called for
   consecutive, evenly spaced points of time or space.
- rndFunc is the random generator function used. It must return a value in the range
[0..1[. If a falsy value is provided (0, false, null, undefined..) Math.random will be used.
- period determines the speed of variation of the returned value. The higher
period is, the slowlier the value will change in the noise signal. It must be
a positive, non zero value (typically a few hundreds).
- nbHarmonics is an integer giving the number of harmonics used to generate the signal.
With 0 or 1, a single, smooth signal will be generated
With 2 or more, internally generated signals of periods up to period / 2, period / 3, will be added.
nbHarmonics should be kept as low as possible, since every added harmonic increases the
computation time significantly.
- attenHarmonics is a float number which should stay in the interval 0..1.
During harmonics generation, the amplitude of the signal is multiplied by
attenHarmonics, with respect to the immediatly lower level harmonic.
attenHarmonics = 0 results in no harmonics at all. attenHarmonics > 1 results in
harmonics greater than the fundamental, whith the highest harmonics beeing the
most important. This is not usually the desired behaviour.
lowValue and highValue are optional floating values. Despite the names, it
it is not required that highValue > lowValue. The
returned value will be scaled to the range lowValue..highValue
(without strict warranty about the limits beeing reached or exceeded, due to
the finite precision of floating numbers)
