Replaced blacklisted 'hexagon' tag with 'hexagonal-grid'

| Oct 20, 2014 at 15:49 | comment | added | Tom Auger | @Zehelvion haha and NOW I know what you mean by "procrastination" - I just spend the last 2 hours shaving the irrational numbers yak, and NOT creating a hex-tile based game. | |

| Oct 20, 2014 at 10:25 | comment | added | AturSams | @TomAuger Did not mean to offend. I don't think proc is uncommon or reveals poor character. I think everyone has a right to it unless they are obliged by contract to do otherwise. I actually think learning about irrational numbers through a game-dev q&a is interesting. | |
| Oct 20, 2014 at 2:14 | comment | added | Tom Auger | @leewangzhong if I were comfortable with having some (but possibly not all) of the lines of the hex anti-aliased. I don't think anyone would argue that, if it were mathematically possible, it's preferable to draw along whole pixels. | |
| Oct 20, 2014 at 1:46 | comment | added | user51585 | @TomAuger: Even though there are not "any hex tile sizes where both width and height are integers", one can "create pixel-perfect hex tiles" anyway. | |
| Oct 19, 2014 at 20:24 | comment | added | leewz | You said "pixel", right? So you're talking about programming? Internally, you would work with ints to say which cell you're in (there should be online resources about hex grids), and the drawing of the lines will be done by the computer. (Think: You can't draw a circle, either.) | |
| Oct 19, 2014 at 19:49 | comment | added | Tom Auger | I don't care about gameplay, but I do care about asset creation and the math involved in things like line-of-sight calculations and pathing. And where did that comment about "procrastination" come from? Maybe you could explain that before someone takes offense. | |
