Calculate the number of hexes between two hexes on a hex grid?
Using the hexgrid and coordinates above, I am trying to find a consistent formula to calculate the distance between two hexes.
Solution
Switched from my x,y to q,r,s coordinates by
q=x
r=y-(x+(ISODD(x)))/2
s=-r-q
then used this formula:
=max(abs(q1-q2) + abs(r1-r2) + abs(s1-s2)) / 2
hopefully this helps someone using an even-q grid
