copied!<p>I do not know if this is the optimal solution but what I would do is create a new class of board the board would be a collection of "cells" each cell would contain a pointer to each of it's neighboring cell (or null if the cell is on a edge). You could implement some iterators on the board class that would walk the cells.</p> <p>You would have to treat it more like a List instead of a vector. But it is at least a start.</p> <hr> <p>Another solution is set you board up like this <a href="http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4739/hexgame11x11.gif" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4739/hexgame11x11.gif</a></p> <p>and still just use the [,] to access each cell but it will take a little more math to figure out if you are traversing cells (Up Right is [+1,-1], Right is [+1,0], Down Right is [0,+1], Down Left is [-1,+1], Left is [-1,0], Up Left is [0,-1])</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>If you want vertical walls instead of a slant just take make your width(X) equal X + Y*2 then on each row make the current row number (y) and make the cells 0 to Y-y and X-y to X off limits.</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>const int X = 10; const int Y = 10; int grid[,] = new int[X+(2*Y), Y]; bool IsCellOffLimits(int x, int y) { return (x < Y-y || x > X-y || y < 0 || y > Y); } </code></pre> <p>you waste a little memory space but it gives you a board like this <a href="http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5580/gridw.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5580/gridw.png</a></p> <p>If you are Very Clever© you can just use the normal space but just have your code have anything in that Y-y or X-y range be on the opposite side of the board. But ill leave that code up to the reader.</p>
