Hexagon grids: coordinate systems and distance calculations
Hexagon grids: coordinate systems and distance calculations [A] poorly implemented hex grid, at the base technical level, has the potential to create massive headaches for me (the programmer) and millions of wasted CPU cycles. The reason for this is the very nature of trying to assign Cartesian coordinates to a honeycomb grid. Quite frankly, all […]

Hexagonal grids are used in some games but aren’t quite as straightforward or common as square grids. I’ve been collecting hex grid resources for nearly 20 years, and wrote this guide to the most elegant approaches that lead to the simplest code, largely based on the guides by Charles Fu and Clark Verbrugge. I’ll describe […]
