		furyofantares on Dec 8, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Hexagonal Grids (2013) I love this page. I've used this page as a reference, it saved me a lot of time and left me with a stronger understanding as well. It reminds me of old school web. When google first came on the scene I was amazed at how many informational pages from either hobbyists or professionals existed (but which I wasn't finding with older search engines), where someone just decided to put everything they know about some topic into a page in glorious detail.

Yes, old school web! A few of the others I like: https://faculty.evansville.edu/ck6/tcenters/ ; http://paulbourke.net/ ; https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/ ; https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ ; https://www.wood-database.com/ ; http://www.oftenpaper.net/sierpinski.htm ; https://www.animatedknots.com/ . There are lots more out there but social media favors new content rather than timeless content.

I want to see more pages like that so, following “Be the change that you wish to see in the world”, I am writing informational pages.

His page about map generation is an invaluable resource for game developers.
