A downloadable tool for Linux

Summary

Machina is a terminal based noise texture generator that quickly outputs noise textures for tech art/game purposes. The tool currently only support perlin and voronoi noise patterns. Though you can regenerate the seed and add offsets to the X and Y sampling coordinates as well as the size. The app is also intended to be visual and minimally oriented. As such, you can also change the ascii character display for a more a pleasing experience. Machina was made as a submission for The Tool Jam 3 and was developed over the spam of 5 days. So, there might be bugs or hard coded elements.

How to run

Due to its short development cycle, Machina only runs on Linux at the moment.

To Run the application:

download the "main" file from this page,
have a linux bash terminal window opened and scaled to fullscreen
navigate to the directory where the "main" file is
type "./main" to run

Controls

N	Changes the noise type
E	Exports the noise as jpg
X	Exits the application
U,I,O,P	Scrolls the noise offset on X and Y
+ -	Scales the noise
V.B.	Changes the visualized Ascii Characters
