The Battle for Wesnoth, a hex grid based computer game. A hex map, hex board, or hex grid is a game board design commonly used in simulation games of all scales, including wargames, role-playing games, and strategy games in both board games and video games. A hex map is subdivided into a hexagonal tiling, small regular hexagons of identical size.
A tile on the grid will contain more than one isometric tile, and depending on where it is clicked it should map to different coordinates. The key in this method is that the virtual coordinates are floating point numbers rather than integers. A virtual-x and y value can be (3.5, 3.5) which means the center of the third tile.
The Hexagonal Efficient Coordinate System (HECS), formerly known as Array Set Addressing (ASA), is a coordinate system for hexagonal grids that allows hexagonally sampled images to be efficiently stored and processed on digital systems. HECS represents the hexagonal grid as a set of two interleaved rectangular sub-arrays, which can be addressed ...
Lewis Pulsipher reviewed Hexagonal and Grid Mapping System in The Space Gamer No. 50. [1] Pulsipher commented that "This is an impressive product. If you want to hex-map large areas of a role-playing world, I know of no better aid."
A wide variety of such grids have been proposed or are currently in use, including grids based on "square" or "rectangular" cells, triangular grids or meshes, hexagonal grids, and grids based on diamond-shaped cells. A "global grid" is a kind of grid that covers the entire surface of the globe.
Campaign Hexagon System is a booklet presenting more than 60 blank hex grids. Each page contains a rectangular hexagonal tessellation consisting of roughly 1000 small hexes, with a large hex superimposed over this grid to represent a distance of 5 miles across flat land. The booklet includes additional guidelines to assist with a fantasy ...
[2] [1]: 143 By this time, D&D and other fantasy role-playing games had developed the custom of using a 1"-square grid for indoor and regional maps, and a hex grid for large-scale outdoor maps. Wilderness Hex Sheets , published in 1982 as a reprint of 1978's Hex Sheets , is a pad of 50 sheets marked with a hex grid.
In the context of meshes, a cuboid is often called a hexahedron, hex, or brick. [1] For the same cell amount, the accuracy of solutions in hexahedral meshes is the highest. The pyramid and triangular prism zones can be considered computationally as degenerate hexahedrons, where some edges have been reduced to zero.
