   I have always wanted to code a few of my favorite war games on my
Mac, but the code for finding the distance between two hexes has always
eluded me.  I *want* hex maps, because that's what the games are played
on and I also feel that using squares does not represent life to well,
but then again, neither do hexes, really, but they're close enough for
me.
  Suggestions anyone?  Thanks in advance!
