     it turned out i understood the math i just slot the wrong values in to the vectors. it was reading <q,s,r> and calculating r instead of <q,r,s> and calculating s :blobcatgooglybadumtss:
     
     well. i just switched the components around. worky now.

     @arnelson :blobcatwaitwhat2: why though
     
     i guess if you were really trying to compress the coordinates

     @icedquinn For extra fun, try Gosper spiral coordinates--represent each hex with one number!

     Also known as spiral honeycomb mosaic: https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/71785/converting-between-spiral-honeycomb-mosaic-and-axial-hex-coordinates

     (Someday I'll find the motivation to work on my hex-based Terraria clone engine again...)

     @icedquinn Memory locality, mostly. If you store all of your hexes in a big 1D array in Gosper order then nearby hexes are usually nearby in the array.

     But also just because it's cool.

     other non-fun events (i have one caffiene bottle left) involve randomly picking a hex and doing the random walks. although there may be quite an easy way to cheese those.
     
     gah i wish i had the updated nim binding. writing this stuff in gdscript is bleh
