Hello, lately I was looking into Perlin noise and I can't figure out how to map the 1D values to 2D.
Using 2 of those values would do the trick but how do I blend them together?

I had to alter some of the code just to get it to run.

Ive guessed the graphics resolution and worked out its actually BlitzmaxNG

So we have something runnable in BlitzMaxNG now

I dont know why im interested in Perlin noise but i like Age of Empires thats probably the only link i can think of.

Your variables you've used are floats and functions / methods are int's secondly i think the use of the correct format to get the alpha blending of pixels to work is the problem!

This is a little beyond me as ive tried altering pixels before and if the pixel format that your manipulating is not in the right format or the right canvas so to speak. Then, i think this is why you may not be getting true looking terrain! RGB values need to be seperated in to there Byte formats and the you need to know i its ARGB or ABGR etc.

I may have completely missed the point but maybe somelse could help explain!? or get the colors of terrain to come through properly 

Kind regards Baggey
 

i think i know what your talking about i cant remember where i've seen it used though. is it called perlin noise? its like 2.5 or 1.5d
