I wrote a small #tutorial about generating Perlin-noise. The code uses #TypeScript but it doesn't really use any exclusive features.

Back when I was first learning about noise, I found that most tutorials delve deep into the math / science (which is excellent, just was a little overwhelming), which ultimately hindered me in understanding how the algorithm itself works.

So I'm hoping this might help those who similarly learn better from code.

FosseryWeb progress report:
Started the regeneration of HTML cheathseets using page-builders, but didn't get far, because I had some other stuff to do, plus I have to deal with the age verification nonsense, work on a contingency plan in case things get too bad... I mean it's already too bad with Systemd laying the ground work...
