Diagonals are fine, but if you're going for realism/minimizing exploit possibilities, you have to account account for diagonals being ~1.41x longer than the cardinal directions.
I'm more intrigued by the dodgy comic strip to the left... "I can't believe it! I've been rescued by... a *woman*!"
Jungle Temple!
I want to get a Playdate just to play this.
Those runes are reminding me of Ranarama! A game I liked almost as much as Quazatron.

Create a responsive grid of hexagon shapes with fewer than 15 CSS declarations, minimal HTML, and without media queries!

Paperback available from the author.
Stood behind Terry Pratchett in line in a sandwich shop. I didn't even realize it was him until after I left. He was even wearing the same hat and coat as some of his author photos!
If God had not wanted us to eat school children, then why did he make them so tasty?
Entering the coastal town of Eastport. A signpost says, "Welcome to Eastport. Pirates NOT Welcome".
#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: working on the town of Eastport, getting all the shops working and finalising the layout.
Also added The Hidden Way, the passage that leads to Pirate's Cove. Now I can get to Pirate's Cove, I'd better get all the shop maps there done...
Cartridge used: 320 of 960K.
I really need to get me one of these.
Done!

A Gug!

I love this game. It reminds me very much of WoW without the annoying other people playing.
Well. This is glorious.
Superb and creepy bedtime reading.
A pre-launch review of Whispers Beyond The Stars:
"Modern #Lovecraft: sleek, eerie, buzzing with uneasy implication rather than melodrama [...] Every decision feels messy, weighty, and uncomfortably human."
I'll take that.
