Jumping into the world of WPF custom controls, and was wondering what the best way to design a HexGrid control would be? Think your favorite table-top war game; or, equally likely, your favorite video game that steals the design from a proud history of table-top war games. The underlying model exposes one significant method, as a part ...
What's the easiest way to draw a hex grid algorithmically? How should I present them in data? For example, in a square grid, I could just save x-y coordinates.. ...
Say I'm building a board game with a hextile grid, like Settlers of Catan: Note that each vertex and edge may have an attribute (a road and settlement above). How would I make a data structure which represents this board? What are the patterns for accessing each tile's neighbors, edges and vertices? ...
Imagine hexagonal space with 3 dimensions. Each tile has coordinates XYZ. I need to select a given cell neighbors in the same plane. With SQL it's looks like: $tbDir = $y % 2 == 0 ? -1 : 1; $result = db_query('SELECT x,y,z FROM {cells} WHERE x = %d AND y = %d AND z = %d OR x = %d AND y = %d AND z = %d OR ...
Help to find an algorithm for creating cells by spiral on the hexagonal field. Look at the image: Let's imagine an dimensionless 2d array. The X axis is the blue line, Y is horizontal, spiral is red. I need to add cells from the central point x0y0 to point N by spiral Tell me the way to solve the problem, please. Thank you! ...
I am working with a hexagonal grid. I have chosen to use this coordinate system because it is quite elegant. This question talks about generating the coordinates themselves, and is quite useful. My issue now is in converting these coordinates to and from actual pixel coordinates. I am looking for a simple way to find the center of a hex...
Greetings, I'm working on a game project that uses a 3D variant of hexagonal tile maps. Tiles are actually cubes, not hexes, but are laid out just like hexes (because a square can be turned to a cube to extrapolate from 2D to 3D, but there is no 3D version of a hex). Rather than a verbose description, here goes an example of a 4x4x4 map...
I'm using C++ to recursively make a hexagonal grid (using a multiply linked list style). I've got it set up to create neighboring tiles easily, but because I'm doing it recursively, I can only really create all 6 neighbors for a given tile. Obviously, this is causing duplicate tiles to be created and I'm trying to get rid of them in some...
Using other questions on here I found Amit's Page on Games including a section on Hex Tiles which also links to a game coding wiki here. I am looking for suggestions: (a) libraries, engines or code samples in any language. I have found one in python, PGU+pygame, but looking for more. (b) open source hex-tile tactics or strategy games....
I have results from a survey. I am trying to create a graphic displaying the relationship of two variables: "Q1" and "Q9.1". "Q1" is the independent and "Q9.1" is the dependent. Both variables have responses from like scale questions: -2,-1,0,1,2. A typical plot places the answers on top of each other - not very interesting or informativ...
