Today was kind of rough, so let's just toss out some ideas, no pressure.

So, drawing hexes requires explicit coordinates for all points. Since I'm tiling them, any irrational numbers will end up compounded as the hexes continue sideways/down. Is that a problem? I don't truly know, but I would rather just use a small rational approximation to the square root of three, so I don't have to think about it. Seven fourths should be fine. I'm assuming that I'll end up wanting a "worse" approximation for aesthetic reasons of some kind, but seven fourths is a good number for not really thinking about it.

And speaking of not really thinking about it, I'm pretty tired already, so I'll just leave this here and start experimenting with it later.

Good night.
