+simplex-noise.js is a simplex noise implementation in Javascript/TypeScript.
+It works in the browser and nodejs. Using Commonjs and ES Modules.
+It is self contained (dependency free), relatively small (about 2k minified and gzipped)
+and fairly fast (about 20 nanoseconds for a sample of 2d noise).
