beehive

crates.io docs.rs travis.org

Library for working with 3D hexagonal maps.

Usage

Add the beehive crate as a dependency:

[dependencies]
beehive = "0.1"

Coordinate space

Coordinates are in cube or axial space where Z is the cube axis, with an additional vertical axis W.

Flat-top

       yz +Y
       __
   yx /  \ xz +X
-X zx \__/ xy
    -Y zy

Pointy-top

    yx  /\  yz  +Y
-X  zx |  | xz  +X
-Y  zy  \/  xy

Collections

The following collections are available behind the collections feature (enabled by default):

  • DirectionMap, a stack-allocated map backed by an array that can be indexed by Direction.
  • HexMap, a generic QuadPrism-shaped dense container indexed by hex coordinates.
  • KdTree, a generic KD-tree in hex space, implemented on a flat vector.

Crate Features

  • serde-1: Enabled by default. Serialization support via serde.
  • collections: Enabled by default. Collections that work with hex coordinates.
  • rand-07: Disabled by default.rand 0.7 distribution implementations for Direction and QuadPrism.
