Alternate geometries?

[DKMiller71]

Does Exolve have the ability to present alternate geometries, like hex grids or circular?

Not right now (well, 3-D is supported). I would like to add this. Do you have a puzzle planned? If so, when? I think I would generalize by allowing parameterized cells, with the parameters determining the cell shape, location, connections, and canned support for some standard ones like circular, spiral, hex, etc.

I didn't have anything specifically planned, but had run across some alternate designs and was curious what Exolve could support if I were to play around with trying one of them

For what it's worth, I never got back to you on this, but I had created a hex grid puzzle back in January. Hex grids have two optional layouts (point up or flat side up, I did the former). Here if you want to see it:

If you ever do have support for hex grid, I'd probably add the fillable option.

If you ever do decide to do this, let me know... I have a third on the way.

Had forgotten about this, and it still seems like a good feature to add! Please open a bug (I can do that too, if you can't get to it).

What do you mean by the "fillable option"?

I just meant that: right now, I've only got the PDF version published, and if Exolve were able to support hex grids, I'd put the Exolve version out there.
