What feels like a million years and a lifetime ago, I wrote up a library for perlin and simple noise in Racket. Inspired by Jens Axel Søgaard’s new Sketching library (processing in Racket) and a conversation thereabout, I figure it’s about time to push noise to the raco package manager!

It’s alive!
I still have to figure out how to get it to see the documentation, but that’s pretty cool. I should really get back into Racket. It’s a fun language for a lot of things.
