Hexagonal Grids

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides practical formulas and algorithms to create and manage hex-based boards, including coordinate systems, distances, pathfinding, and rendering.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Coordinate systems support: offset, cube, axial, and doubled
• Distance and range calculations
• Line drawing and hex traversal
• Hex map generation and pathfinding examples
• Use Case: Build a hex-based game board and compute distance between two hexes

Quick Start

Start by representing hexes with axial coordinates, compute distance using the max-diff formula, convert to cube for algorithms, and prototype basic pathfinding with a small hex grid.
