I have always wanted to code a few of my favorite war games on my Mac, but the code for finding the distance between two hexes has always eluded me. I *want* hex maps, because that's what the games are played on and I also feel that using squares does not represent life to well, but then again, neither do hexes, really, but they're close enough for me. Suggestions anyone? Thanks in advance! | John Taggart Gorman Jr. | "I'm a no rust build up man myself." | | -Christian Slater | jtgorman@caslon.cs.arizona.edu | in 'Heathers'

You want to be able to find the linear (as the crow flies) distance between any two hexes? I'm not sure I understood you.
