Implementing Triangle Grids for Maze Generation

While square grids are the standard in game development and procedural generation, triangular grids offer a visually striking and geometrically unique alternative. To build them, you must first understand how their unconventional coordinate systems and cell orientations work. This text-only course guides you through the foundational math and logic required to represent, connect, and navigate triangular cells in code. In this course, you will learn how to structure triangular coordinates, manage alternating cell orientations, and write clean algorithms to determine neighbor relationships. By working through clear written explanations and structured code snippets, you will gain a deep, intuitive understanding of non-orthogonal grid systems. What you will learn: - Understand the core geometry and coordinate systems unique to triangular grids - Manage alternating upward and downward cell orientations in your data structures - Determine precise neighbor relationships to enable pathfinding and maze algorithms - Map grid coordinates to 2D space for accurate rendering layouts - Apply classic maze generation algorithms to triangular structures - Write clean, structured, and modern code to handle complex grid logic You will begin with fundamental geometric concepts and coordinate definitions before moving on to grid construction and maze generation logic. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate programmers and game developers who want to expand their procedural generation toolkit. No prior experience with non-orthogonal grids is required.
