Hey guys. Just wanted to let anyone interested know that I got libnoise ported into a (barely) workable state. I actually did this last year, but got held up with other things and never got around to actually getting it working. So now I have! I've added a couple of things to it as well, the biggest one being a simplex noise generator.

It's still in a very rough state but it is usable. If anyone wants to take a look or grab it it's on my github: https://github.com/kniteli/libnoise-d

Building is currently a pain so I'd recommend just importing the sources directly.  I'm going to get the library sorted out as I go along, as I'm playing around with coherent noise terrain generation.

Oh yeah, one last thing, here's some cool formations generated with the simplex generator in a voxel engine: http://imgur.com/bhwWnny

Can you believe that used to be a cube?

This is relevant to my interests, by "rough state", what do mean exactly?

Well, for example, building currently just sprays a bunch of import files into a directory with no structure, making them useless without putting them into their directory structure. A couple of the modules had naming collisions with d reserved keywords (namely, module and const) and so I've renamed them temporarily until I can settle on a permanent name.

Finally, I can't get the Cache module to build at all (still don't know why), so I have it removed from the build. Other than that it seems to work just fine.

I should mention it builds fine, it just has oddities. Also, it only supports dmd at the moment, you'll have to setup your own build for other compilers.
