H6HIVE

A hive-like hexagon vector for ES2019, initially designed for board games.

Installation

npm for GitHub repository only:

npm i main76/h6hive -s

HIVE

Hive is something like a tree, but not exactly the same. The children nodes are horizontal hexagons. Also it is currently size fixed.

I might be considering implement a scalable Hive class in the future.

Axios

• x-axis: ⬇️
• y-axis: ↙️
• z-axis: ↘️

There stands an identity that unit vector y + unit vector z = unit vector x, which means you only need either two of them to describe a coordinate.

Data Binding

No data binding at all, use member function set to update the nodes.

HNODE

HNode is something like a tree node, but with more directions.

Basic

Six directions for each node. See the example output of test/index.js for detail.

        ____
       /    \
  ____/north \____
 /    \  0   /    \
/north \____/north \
\west 3/    \east 5/
 \____/center\____/
 /    \  1   /    \
/south \____/south \
\west 4/    \east 6/
 \____/south \____/
      \  2   /
       \____/

Sentinel

When the value is null strictly, a sentinel node will be added to the hive. sentinel is a node that connects to itself in all directions, which can be used as boundaries for zones.

              ____
             /    \
            / #### \____
            \ #### /    \
  ____       \____/ #### \____

Test

• Basic directions
• Chain calling
• Sentinel behavior
• Set node
• To ascii string
