In this new multi-part Perlin Noise Tutorial, I show you what Perlin noise is and how it can be used in creative coding, more specifically with the p5.js library. In Part I.2 of this series, I introduce you to what Perlin noise is, how it’s created and its history.

In Part I.3 of my Perlin Noise Tutorial, I show you the difference between two p5.js function returning random numbers: noise() and random().

In Part I.4 of my Perlin Noise Tutorial, I graph the values of one-dimensional perlin noise and compare to randomness.

In the fifth part of my Perlin Noise Tutorial, I demonstrate how to use two-dimensional Perlin noise in a p5.js sketch.
