- Hexagonal Grids from Red Blob Games (redblobgames.com)
This guide will cover various ways to make hexagonal grids, the relationships between different approaches, and common formulas and algorithms. I’ve been collecting hex grid resources for over 25 years. I wrote this guide to the most elegant approaches that lead to the simplest code, starting from the guides by Charles Fu and Clark Verbrugge. Most parts of this page are interactive.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft stared at Saturn for nearly 44 hours on April 25 to 27, 2016, to obtain this movie showing just over four Saturn days.
- Frog Holler Forest (PDF) (aqua.kingcounty.gov)
Known for the chorus of tree frogs in the area, Frog Holler is a local Vashon Island neighborhood along Wax Orchard Road just north of Camp Sealth. The largest portion of Frog Holler Forest is one-half mile south of Bates Road on the east side of Wax Orchard Road. The previous owners had enrolled the forest in the American Tree Farm system and allowed local neighbors to use the network of trails on site. The site has a 5-acre pasture that had been grazed by sheep, goats and horses over the years. A 39 acre parcel west of the road was added to the site in 2020. Frog Holler Forest is the largest public forest on the south end of Vashon Island.
- Torx (Wikipedia)
Torx (pronounced /tɔːrks/) is a trademark for a type of screw drive characterized by a 6-point star-shaped pattern, developed in 1967 by Camcar Textron. A popular generic name for the drive is star, as in star screwdriver or star bits. The official generic name, standardized by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 10664, is hexalobular internal. This is sometimes abbreviated in databases and catalogs as 6lobe (starting with the numeral 6, not the capital letter G). Torx Plus, Torx Paralobe and Torx ttap are improved head profiles.
- Hexagon (Wikipedia)
In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ, hex, meaning “six”, and γωνία, gonía, meaning “corner, angle”) is a six-sided polygon. The total of the internal angles of any simple (non-self-intersecting) hexagon is 720°.
