Im trying to learn Gen, and finding that im bad at it.

I was sending a blank matrix into gen, and adding a noise matrix to it (which feeds back) , to make particles fly around.

If i wish to unpack the rgb / xyz coordinates, and alter them separately, i swiz r/g/b (or swiz x/y/z?) them, then pack them back together with a 'vec' object, yes?

It seems logical, but when i do this, the coordinates go haywire.

At a guess, the noise operator in jit.gen (like jit.noise) outputs values in the range 0..1, i.e. the average value is 0.5. This will quickly accumulate to huge numbers.

Try either subtracting 0.5 from the noise ([- 0.5]) or else forcing the output to wrap within a safe range ([wrap -1 1]) before outputting?
