- 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.
- Four Days at Saturn (youtube.com)
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.
- 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°.
