Clouds

This live wallpaper use an implementation of the Perlin Noise algorithm to produce realistic, animated white clouds in a blue sky.

This program is quite CPU intensive, and requires support for live wallpapers as well as a modern handset.

The customisation options available to the user are:

Detail level: The overall quality of the cloud effect. Higher values are much more CPU intensive, suggested values are 4 or 5 for fast devices.

Zoom level: the "camera distance" from the cloud image, higher value are closer, lower values are further away. Suggested value is about 40.

Animation rate: The amount that the cload image will move with each "frame" of animation. Lower values are more seamless, (suggested values 3 -5) very high values (1000 or more) can be used for a "slideshow" effect,

with each frame of animation different from the last.

Enter Seed: The Perlin noise algorithm allows a "seed" value to be used to regenerate the same cloud data every time. Experiment with different values to produce different cloud fields, then remember your favourites!

Max seed value is 100,000
