Hexagonal tile map

[Guardian]

Hi all,

I'm new with SFML and I'm trying to learn how to make an hexagonal tile map.
I can't understand what primitive type I should use to draw a hexagon?

I've already thought to use a series of Triangle but if I do that I won't be able to set the correct texture to the tile.

Someone can help me?

You can draw anything* with triangles.

You can draw a hexagon simply (in a fan) with six triangles although you can actually draw one with just four.

Why can you not set the texture correctly? Just set the texture co-ordinates to match the points of the texture that they should.

*to a reasonable degree

Ok. I found the way to do that with Triangles. Thanks for your answer.

You're very welcome. Hope it becomes an awesome game!

Why not use a sf::CircleShape instead as shown in the official shapes tutorial?
