But for me, Carcassonne is still the gold standard for board game apps. Werneck for Computing Point-to-Point Shortest Paths from External Memory, (the explanation of ALT that finally stuck.As I said, there are a lot of board game apps in the iTunes store, and more seem to be coming all the time.

Wim Pijls & Henk Post for Yet Another Bidirectional Algorithm for Shortest Paths.Eric Lippert for providing the original Shadowcasting implementation, and inspiring me with his rectangular A* path-finding algorithm.

I endeavour to update this on every push to GitHub - but it is not yet automated. HexgridExampleWinformw: Work in progress.Дoxygen is used to generate external documentation for the entire solution, including diagrams using Graphviz DOT, in the file docs.zip. Once HexgridCachedPanel is complete an example based around it will also be added.

HexgridExampleWpf: A WPF example that opens two windows (forms) based around HexgridPanel (terrible performance) and HexgridBufferedPanel (moderately good performance).

Example based around a 5-layer buffered & cached subclass of HexgridPanel (HexgridCachedPanel - from proprietary code) that offers excellent performance even on maps very much larger than the examples.

HexgridExampleWinform: An example MDI WInForm that opens two windows (forms) based around HexgridPanel (terrible performance) and HexgridBufferedPanel (moderately good performance). HexgridExamplesCommon: Common structures used by the example libraries below. THis library is undergoing revision currently that may include breaking changes. HexgridPanel: All core functionality depending on either WinForms or WPF. THis library is moderatey to extremely stable at the present time. HexUtilitites: The core library with all functionality not dependent on either WinForms or WPF.

WinForms Panel sub-class exposing all of the above plus:.

Automatic internal conversion between coordinate systems hidden in a single type HexCoords.

Built-in support for non-standard & transformed coordinate systems (such as for multi-map boards).

All external interfaces and board storage erformed with user (standard rectangular) coordinates.

All internal calculations performed with integer canonical (obtuse) coordinates.

Hex-picking (identifying the hex selected by the user).

Board storage as either a flat or blocked (providing better localization) array.

optionally supports automatic visibility limiting due to Earth's curvature.

Fast Shadowcasting implementation provides 3D Field-of-View.

To/from distances for all landmarks pre-computed on load using Dijkstra's agorithm.

Default landmarks are the 4 corners and 4 side midpoints of the map.

Lightning-fast ALT Bidirectional Path-Finding implementation.
