// NoiseSpeedTest.cpp

// Implements the main app entrypoint

/*
This program compares the performance of the highly-optimized noise implementation in Cuberite, and the Simplex noise.
Since the Simplex noise is not yet implemented in Cuberite, an own implementation is provided.
Also, the performance difference between using a float and double as datatype is measured, by using a templatized Simplex noise.

The testing is done on a usage of the generator that is typical for the Cuberite's terrain generator: generate a 3D array of numbers with
not much variance in the coords. The exact sizes and coord ranges were adapted from the cNoise3DComposable generator.
