How to make one-axis tileable simplex noise?

I made a program that uses perlin noise to generate a height map. It worked very good. Later I changed it to use simplex noise. What I want to achieve now is that the left edge fits in the right ...

Zooming in on procedural generated 2D terrain? (LOD)

My question is what methods are there to "zoom in" on a procedurally generated map using Perlin Noise (or Simplex). If I have for example this generated and I wanted to "zoom" into that little red ...

Are there any methods for generating rivers on-demand with Perlin/Simplex noise?

I'm aware of many methods for procedurally generating rivers, but they require an entire heightmap beforehand in order to work. For instance, they may require to find a high position on the map and ...

Heightmap using Simplex noise with octaves: help with parameters and interpretation

I've found a few pieces of code around, where Java code for Simplex noise (based on this widely quoted paper) was coupled with octaves to get a heightmap. However those classes/snippets are NOT in the ...
