Description
Topic
I think Simplex Noise would be a very good enhancement. It seems p5.js is not working on it. If you want to make sure that the previous projects don't break.
A fix for this may can be done like centering rectangles, I fell that it would be a good idea to have maybe a noiseMode(SIMPLEX) and noiseMode(PERLIN), this would allow a decision by the user, if they want Perlin Noise they could use noiseMode(PERLIN), or just leave it out (It could be the default for compatibility), or if they want to use (better) Simplex Noise they could use noiseMode(SIMPLEX).
Here are some reasons Simplex is better (Thanks ChatGPT):
- Improved computational efficiency.
- Higher quality and smoother results.
- Improved isotropy and higher-dimensional performance.
- Easier implementation and understanding.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing noise API and its Perlin-noise behavior, then determine how a noiseMode(SIMPLEX) option could preserve compatibility with previous projects. Define what both SIMPLEX and PERLIN modes should guarantee and add coverage or examples demonstrating the selected behavior.
