\brief Implements the SimplexNoise1234 class for producing Perlin simplex noise.
\author Stefan Gustavson (stegu@itn.liu.se)
*/
/*
* This implementation is "Simplex Noise" as presented by
* Ken Perlin at a relatively obscure and not often cited course
* session "Real-Time Shading" at Siggraph 2001 (before real
* time shading actually took on), under the title "hardware noise".
* The 3D function is numerically equivalent to his Java reference
* code available in the PDF course notes, although I re-implemented
* it from scratch to get more readable code. The 1D, 2D and 4D cases
* were implemented from scratch by me from Ken Perlin's text.
*
* This is a highly reusable class. It has no dependencies
* on any other file, apart from its own header file.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// Static data
/*
* Permutation table. This is just a random jumble of all numbers 0-255,
* repeated twice to avoid wrapping the index at 255 for each lookup.
* This needs to be exactly the same for all instances on all platforms,
* so it's easiest to just keep it as static explicit data.
* This also removes the need for any initialisation of this class.
*
* Note that making this an int[] instead of a char[] might make the
* code run faster on platforms with a high penalty for unaligned single
* byte addressing. Intel x86 is generally single-byte-friendly, but
* some other CPUs are faster with 4-aligned reads.
* However, a char[] is smaller, which avoids cache trashing, and that
* is probably the most important aspect on most architectures.
* This array is accessed a *lot* by the noise functions.
* A vector-valued noise over 3D accesses it 96 times, and a
* float-valued 4D noise 64 times. We want this to fit in the cache!

I commented out the 3d + because I don't need them...I don't think.
So to begin with I've been trying to use the 2d function, thinking that'd be the way to go for caves and such. However I read recently that it's typically better to use one dimensional noise to get a nice lay of the land, and then refine that with two dimensional noise to add hollows to said land.
i have no idea how to even go about using one dimensional noise so I'd love if someone could fill me in on that.
But as for what I've been doing currently is creating a 2d array(float[128,128]) with a downwards gradient, then i attempted to run that through a turbulence function which combined fresh 2d array run through the noise function and combined it with the gradient chunk. I got a gray block. I'm seriously lost, I could use some major help.

canvas[(x * 128) + y] = new Color(c, c, c, 255);
}
}
return canvas;
}
