Re: [Rails-devel] Critical problem with Hex code

AH HA.

Nevermind.   I found java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double.


It's almost 5am.  I'm a bit tired. :-)

Subject: [Rails-devel] Critical problem with Hex code

I'm working on the placement of E-W oriented hexes and having the damnedest time shifting them left and right.

Here's how the math looks:

On a Hexagon with each side's length as 1 unit:

The vertical distance between the top-most vertex and its neighbor is 1/2.
The horizontal distance between the top-most vertex and its neighbor is SQRT(3)/2.


So, on the map board, every other row of hexes needs to be offset SQRT(3)/2 units on the X axis. 


The problem:

The code in GUIHex is setting the center of each hex as a java.awt.Point. Point's constructor only allows for an integer-based coordinate assignment.


So, by the look of it, this hex code won't support E-W oriented hexes.



Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this?
