SimpleHexes

A small, dependency-light hex coordinate library for .NET.

Why this exists

SimpleHexes aims to be a “just enough” hex coordinate package:

  • Easy-to-read coordinate type(s)
  • Common hex operations (neighbors, distance, etc.)
  • Minimal allocations and predictable performance

If you’re building a tactics game, board-game sim, map tools, or TTRPG utilities, this is the kind of library you don’t want to rewrite every time.

Install

.NET CLI

dotnet add package SimpleHexes

Package Reference

<PackageReference Include="SimpleHexes" Version="1.0.0" />

Quick start

using SimpleHexes;

// Create a hex coordinate
var a = new Hex(0, 0);
var b = new Hex(2, -1);

// Basic arithmetic
var c = a + b;

// Distance (hex distance)
var d = a.GetDistanceTo(b);

// Neighbours
foreach (var n in a.GetNeighbours())
{
    Console.WriteLine(n);
}

Coordinate system

  • Type: Axial
  • Axis names: (q,r)
  • Orientation: pointy-top
  • Coordinates are stored as axial (q, r)
  • Neighbour directions are ordered NW, NE, E, SE, SW, W
  • Distance is the standard hex-grid distance

Common operations

Line drawing

foreach (var h in a.GetLineTo(b))
{
    ...
}
