Game Development

Simplifies the implementation of hexagonal grid systems, coordinate conversions, and spatial algorithms for game development and data visualization.

About

The Hexagonal Grids skill provides Claude with deep domain knowledge for building hex-based environments, drawing heavily from the authoritative Red Blob Games standards. It enables seamless conversion between Cube, Axial, and Offset coordinate systems, calculates precise hex distances, and implements complex algorithms like A* pathfinding, line-of-sight, and field-of-view within hexagonal layouts. Whether you are building a strategy game or a complex spatial data map, this skill provides the mathematical formulas and implementation patterns needed to ensure consistent, bug-free grid logic.
