Hello I have some code i am trying to implement into my game and I am hoping someone has the skills and is willing to help me get this code running on GML. Thank you!

I'm sorry but if you don't understand the code, "translating" it's not really going to help you much. Those imports are not access to files. Imports are access to parts of the language itself. Translating code like this isn't as simple as replacing the words with a GML equivalent, as there's a lot of technical things going on here that GML does quite differently. Not to mention that this Java code is object oriented, where GML is not. Implementing this into your project will depend on how your project is set up, as it's not a plug and play code.

Also try not to post multiple times in a row, especially duplicating the same information. You can use the edit button to add additional information to your post. It makes it cleaner and easier for people to help you in the future.

Thank you I am new to all this. I appricate any help I can get. I know I am extremely lacking in the knowledge I require. I will abide by the guidelines you mentioned thank you.

What would bw different about this GML code if it were based on radius rather than on a (x,y)



* Fast perlin noise generation
*
* Generate a perlin noise with 8 octave and a persistence of 0.5
*
* NB:
* - output range between 0 and 255
* - maximum octave = 7
*
* you can change type of noise between grad & value noise by commenting/uncommenting block
* you can change type of interpolation between bicubic/bilinear by commenting/uncommenting block

*NOTE : on for true grandiant noise uncomment following block

* gradX1= alt1&0xFF
* gradY1= (alt1&0xFF00)>>8
*
* the last part of the PRN (alt1&0xFF0000)>>8 is used as an offset to correct one of the gradiant problem wich is zero on cell edge
*
* source vector (sXN;sYN) for scalar product are computed using (bX,bY)
*
* each four values must be replaced by the result of the following
* altN=(gradXN;gradYN) scalar (sXN;sYN)

* all the rest of the code (interpolation+accumulation) is identical for value & gradiant noise
