I'm cool with the idea as long as the vast majority of them are removed (I don't want my name to be the only removed from the sources :D)

As Cervator suggested, I'm opening this thread to discuss whether it's or not a good idea to move the math stuff (org.terasology.math) and random classes (org.terasology.utilities.procedural and org.terasology.utilities.noise) to an independent repository, which would be downloaded as a...

https://github.com/socram8888/Terasology/blob/rng/src/main/java/org/terasology/utilities/procedural/Random.java Have a look. If OK I'll start recoding FastRandom and stuff using it. Rather than having many functions with positive, negative, signed, etc... I've just added functions to work...

Ok :)

Actually it is not. Can be modified to: return (long) nextInt() << 32 ^ (long) nextInt(); When you expand an int to a long, if the int was negative, the upper bits from the long are set to 1, in order to keep the sign: (long) 0x01234567 -> 0x0000000001234567L (long) 0x89ABCDEF ->...

Yeah, you're right when it comes to the simplicity of RGB to modders. However working with HSL still has the advantage of letting modders add a virtually unlimited amount of colors. So what about mixing both? The artist would create an RGB picture with each component of the plant (stem...

Actually blue channel is unusued, so it is possible to use it as an index to the hue file. Using blue as the index, images look like this: Which is smaller and more visual

As I already pointed out, this is designed to be handled by a computer, not an human. Converting to this kind of file is the last step, done automatically by means of a script. The artist only have to build a set of layers, put one aside the other like this: Then run the script which outputs a...

I might have misunderstood this:

This is how do generated images look like for this stripe: Hue file: { "hue": [ "0.23-0.41", "0.5-1.2", "0.5-1.2", "0.5-1.2", "0.5-1.2" ] }

The scheme doesn't have to be accessible to humans. Artists doesn't need to mess with HSV pictures, in the same way a programmer doesn't need to know how does the CPU process each instruction, or a 3D artist doesn't manually edit each vertex in their models. Here's a picture with the image...

Why not infinite layers? Using a different file for each image, you can divide the width by the height and get the amount of cells in each strip: Then using a text file, describe the valid chrominance for each cell, like .block, but .plant: { "hue": [ // In degrees "80-160", //...

Inhereting Random isn't a good idea. Java Random is synchronized, and that synchronization has an overhead, which might be negligible for some applications, but not for a class called FastRandom that is used all over the code. Check this article talking about the multiply-with-carry RNG (also...
