I'm trying to make a game where you build things out of hexagonal bits like this: Image
You can download it here to try it out: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=8570

As of right now you can place blocks seamlessly wherever you want, but I want them to snap to each other in a hexagonal grid.

I found some clues to my solution here: http://community.clickteam.com/threads/74311-setting-up-a-fast-loop-hex-grid but I'm not sure how it'll help me.

If anyone has any advice please reply.

The only thing that makes hex grid mapping different from square grid mapping is that every other column / row is staggered.


In pseudo-code, this would come out something like: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ryvsbivT

You can do much the same thing with fastloops, or you can have an invisible layer of spaces and just make the hexagon at whichever invisible space you click on.

 
If you put a million monkeys at a million keyboards, one of them will eventually write a Java program.
The rest of them will write Perl programs.
