18:52 hmmmm so i'm designing the new perlin functions, and i have some questions
18:52 hmmmm they require intermediary buffers
18:53 hmmmm would you like it for the caller to provide it, or should i have the perlin noise function allocate it via alloca()
18:54 hmmmm since all the hardcore computation happens in the gradient function, using alloca shouldn't affect things much from a performance standpoint since SFO will still be usable in gradient
18:54 hmmmm however, when requesting maps that are too large, it'll cause a stack overflow
18:55 hmmmm having the caller provide the intermediate buffer is pretty ugly though
18:55 hmmmm for the typical use case (16x16 areas) it wouldn't overflow at all
18:55 hmmmm 16x16x16 as well
