README
This is What The Hex?, a geometric puzzle game made in C#, using the [Godot Game Engine](https://godotengine.org).
_The pursuit of true hexcellence requires that you clear your mind and become one with the geometry of the universe..._
# Rules
* You begin with an 8 x 5 grid of hexagons
* Each hexagon has one of 4 colors on each edge
* You can rotate any given hexagon 60 degrees counterclockwise with a left click, 60 degrees clockwise with a right click
* You start with 100 seconds (configurable) on the clock
* If a rhombus with 4 hexagons bordering it has all 4 edges the same color, you get a match
* Most matches are worth 100 points, but each match you make with the current advantage color gives you 300 instead
* Every 10 seconds, random hexagons are regenerated
* Hexagons are internally black by default but turn blue when they are selected for replacement
* The number of hexagons refreshed per cycle increases by 1 every 3 refresh cycles
* You win if you make 20 matches (configurable)
# Controls
Joystick (Supported on all platforms):
* D-Pad: Change currently selected hexagon
* Left shoulder buttons/triggers (L, L1, L2, LB, ZL, etc.) OR B (Switch), A (Xbox), X (PlayStation): Rotate currently selected hexagon counterclockwise
* Right shoulder buttons/triggers (R, R1, R2, RB, ZR, etc.) OR A (Switch), B (Xbox), Circle (PlayStation): Rotate currently selected hexagon clockwise
* Y (Switch), X (Xbox), and Square (PlayStation): Activate powerup
Mouse (Supported on desktop and web only):
* Left Click: Rotate hexagon under mouse cursor counterclockwise
* Right Click: Rotate hexagon under mouse cursor clockwise
Keyboard (Supported on desktop and web only):
* Arrow Keys: Change currently selected hexagon
* Space Bar: Rotate currently selected hexagon clockwise
Touch (Supported on Android only, _might_ work on desktop platforms with a touch screen):
* Tap on any hexagon: Select
* Specific touch buttons in the top-right handle rotation of the current hexagon
# Supported Platforms
Tier 1 (Should Work Well):
* Android/Chrome OS/Fire OS (ARM)
* GNU/Linux (amd64)
* HTML5/Web Browsers
* Note that mobile browsers on iOS do not support the screen orientation API, so you may have trouble fitting that one onto the screen.
* Windows (x86)
Tier 2 (Will Probably Work Well):
* macOS (Can't test this at the moment, but no reason to believe it will be an issue)
Tier 3 (Might work if compiled from source, but no promises)
* iOS (I lack the hardware to compile for this)
* Raspberry Pi and other non-Android ARM devices: I don't want to compile my own build templates, so this is unsupported until they add one by default.
Tier 4 (Might work in the future, but I don't currently expect it to)
* Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S: Currently UWP targets do not support Mono. If this is fixed in the future I'm definitely interested. The relevant GitHub Issue is https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/20271
# Multiplayer Support
What The Hex? features a 2-player mode. Currently, only hotseat is supported and I'm not currently planning on implementing network support.
It is only enabled if at least 2 gamepads are connected. The mouse and keyboard controls still work, but for the moment they are both assumed to be the
first player's.
At the moment, it is a simple timed score-attack mode. I'm also considering implementing a match race mode and/or a zone control mode.
