It's hard to do a hexagonal grid pattern at all, much less figure distances. Congratulations on doing it, but I think I'll stick to square grids because distance is easy, and each cell can be addressed with a simple X, Y coordinate.
Whoa, that code is so compact.
I'm impressed. 
Not very useful, but that is nice code.
Ross, if you'd ever played a game called Wesnoth, then you would think it is useful. :)
Ah, it is very useful. For example a grid of hexagonal nodes that display a user abilities. or perhaps a map? very useful, it's a shame that each hexagon is an object though, but never the less, very good!
Yeah, that's a lot of objects. They should be replaced with tiles, also my hexes are twice the size needed for drawing purposes.
The important part is how the fields arranged. This web page served me as a source: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/Articles/HexLOS.html 
This has almost inspired me to make a hexagonal RTS.
Almost. 8/10 (Should have been done with an array/grid)
Pretty cool.
I Don't see very much use it this. Although it says what it does, and it had a good script 8/10
lol. crappy game. thats good.
I seriously, wouldn't use this for a professional game tho. Only chess or checkers i guess.
I'm not trying to promote this, but Hex Grids are about 25% more precise when it comes to measuring distances (according to Wiki). That's one reason why they are sometimes used for strategy games.
@ Salvation: Chess is not "professional" enough for you? Hehe. What is then, The SIMs? People really have different ideas of a "good" game
What about having no grid at all? The limiting factor isn't the shape of the grid, but the size of the grid, smaller tiles will always give better resolution, and the smallest grid you can get is the resolution of the screen.
Absolutely. Even for turn-based games. Game Maker can give us point or path distances with much better precision if we use built-in functions. I never thought of applying this hex stuff to any of my game ideas, not even concerning terrain development.
I made this because I was asked to do a PC simulation of a Battle Board for "Traveller" (pen'n'Paper RPG). It's used for Spaceship Combat. |
