/*
 *
 * Quickie guide to Perlin Noise
 * Perlin noise is a predictable pseudo random number sequence. By generating
 * it in 2 dimensions, it becomes a useful random map that, for a given seed
 * and starting X & Y, is entirely predictable. On the face of it, that may not
 * be useful. However, it means that if you want to replay a map in a different
 * terrain, or just vary the sea level, you just re-run the generator with the
 * same seed. The seed is an int32, and is randomised on each run of New Game.
 * The Scenario Generator does not randomise the value, so that you can
 * experiment with one terrain until you are happy, or click "Random" for a new
 * random seed.
 *
 * Perlin Noise is a series of "octaves" of random noise added together. By
 * reducing the amplitude of the noise with each octave, the first octave of
 * noise defines the main terrain sweep, the next the ripples on that, and the
 * next the ripples on that. I use 6 octaves, with the amplitude controlled by
 * a power ratio, usually known as a persistence or p value. This I vary by the
 * smoothness selection, as can be seen in the table below. The closer to 1,
 * the more of that octave is added. Each octave is however raised to the power
 * of its position in the list, so the last entry in the "smooth" row, 0.35, is
 * raised to the power of 6, so can only add 0.001838...  of the amplitude to
 * the running total.
 *
 * In other words; the first p value sets the general shape of the terrain, the
 * second sets the major variations to that, ... until finally the smallest
 * bumps are added.
 *
 * Usefully, this routine is totally scaleable; so when 32bpp comes along, the
 * terrain can be as bumpy as you like! It is also infinitely expandable; a
 * single random seed terrain continues in X & Y as far as you care to
 * calculate. In theory, we could use just one seed value, but randomly select
 * where in the Perlin XY space we use for the terrain. Personally I prefer
 * using a simple (0, 0) to (X, Y), with a varying seed.
 *
 *
 * Other things i have had to do: mountainous wasn't mountainous enough, and
 * since we only have 0..15 heights available, I add a second generated map
 * (with a modified seed), onto the original. This generally raises the
 * terrain, which then needs scaling back down. Overall effect is a general
 * uplift.
 *
 * However, the values on the top of mountains are then almost guaranteed to go
 * too high, so large flat plateaus appeared at height 15. To counter this, I
 * scale all heights above 12 to proportion up to 15. It still makes the
 * mountains have flattish tops, rather than craggy peaks, but at least they
 * aren't smooth as glass.
 *

 *
 *
 * Evolution II
 *
 * The algorithm as described in the above link suggests to compute each tile height
 * as composition of several noise waves. Some of them are computed directly by
 * noise(x, y) function, some are calculated using linear approximation. Our
 * first implementation of perlin_noise_2D() used 4 noise(x, y) calls plus
 * 3 linear interpolations. It was called 6 times for each tile. This was a bit
 * CPU expensive.
 *
 * The following implementation uses optimized algorithm that should produce
 * the same quality result with much less computations, but more memory accesses.
 * The overall speedup should be 300% to 800% depending on CPU and memory speed.
 *
 * I will try to explain it on the example below:
 *
 * Have a map of 4 x 4 tiles, our simplified noise generator produces only two
 * values -1 and +1, use 3 octaves with wave length 1, 2 and 4, with amplitudes
 * 3, 2, 1. Original algorithm produces:
 *
 * h00 = lerp(lerp(-3, 3, 0/4), lerp(3, -3, 0/4), 0/4) + lerp(lerp(-2,  2, 0/2), lerp( 2, -2, 0/2), 0/2) + -1 = lerp(-3.0,  3.0, 0/4) + lerp(-2,  2, 0/2) + -1 = -3.0  + -2 + -1 = -6.0
 * h01 = lerp(lerp(-3, 3, 1/4), lerp(3, -3, 1/4), 0/4) + lerp(lerp(-2,  2, 1/2), lerp( 2, -2, 1/2), 0/2) +  1 = lerp(-1.5,  1.5, 0/4) + lerp( 0,  0, 0/2) +  1 = -1.5  +  0 +  1 = -0.5
 * h02 = lerp(lerp(-3, 3, 2/4), lerp(3, -3, 2/4), 0/4) + lerp(lerp( 2, -2, 0/2), lerp(-2,  2, 0/2), 0/2) + -1 = lerp(   0,    0, 0/4) + lerp( 2, -2, 0/2) + -1 =    0  +  2 + -1 =  1.0
 * h03 = lerp(lerp(-3, 3, 3/4), lerp(3, -3, 3/4), 0/4) + lerp(lerp( 2, -2, 1/2), lerp(-2,  2, 1/2), 0/2) +  1 = lerp( 1.5, -1.5, 0/4) + lerp( 0,  0, 0/2) +  1 =  1.5  +  0 +  1 =  2.5
 *
 * h10 = lerp(lerp(-3, 3, 0/4), lerp(3, -3, 0/4), 1/4) + lerp(lerp(-2,  2, 0/2), lerp( 2, -2, 0/2), 1/2) +  1 = lerp(-3.0,  3.0, 1/4) + lerp(-2,  2, 1/2) +  1 = -1.5  +  0 +  1 = -0.5
 * h11 = lerp(lerp(-3, 3, 1/4), lerp(3, -3, 1/4), 1/4) + lerp(lerp(-2,  2, 1/2), lerp( 2, -2, 1/2), 1/2) + -1 = lerp(-1.5,  1.5, 1/4) + lerp( 0,  0, 1/2) + -1 = -0.75 +  0 + -1 = -1.75

 * Perlin noise map doesn't know where we are going to slice across, and so we
 * often cut straight through high terrain. The smoothing routine makes it
 * legal, gradually increasing up from the edge to the original terrain height.
 * By cutting parts of this away, it gives a far more irregular edge to the
 * map-edge. Sometimes it works beautifully with the existing sea & lakes, and
 * creates a very realistic coastline. Other times the variation is less, and
 * the map-edge shows its cliff-like roots.
 *
 * This routine may be extended to randomly sculpt the height of the terrain
 * near the edge. This will have the coast edge at low level (1-3), rising in
 * smoothed steps inland to about 15 tiles in. This should make it look as
 * though the map has been built for the map size, rather than a slice through
 * a larger map.
 *
 * Please note that all the small numbers; 53, 101, 167, etc. are small primes
 * to help give the perlin noise a bit more of a random feel.
