I always loved playing the text-drawn DnD games where you're the "X" as a kid. Now that you've reminded me of it, I'm going to go download a version of it lol.
Nice! I have always appreciated hexes over squares for R-L and any other 'crawlers' much more realistic AND strategic... what language did you use to program this in? oops, just found your FreeBasic forum post... GREAT!
@leopardpm Hexes have many benefits over squares. For one thing, a diagonal move over a square grid is 1.4 times as efficient then a vertical or horizontal move... Hexagons are an equal distance apart in all directions. This is programmed in freebasic which is super easy to use and pretty powerful.

I've been on the road and haven't made any noteworthy progress for over a year now... AstralHex will live, I promise! I'll be back to it as soon as I can settle down somewhere.
Is this like a DnD-style dungeon crawler?
