Grids 1.7

Grids 1.7 is out. It’s the biggest update yet, incorporating a lot of the tech we built for our 30 Games in 30 Days campaign, as well as a lot of the feedback we received from users.

Highlights

• We added wrapped grids for rectangular, diamond, and hexagonal grids.
• We added four types of polar grids.

• We added consistent coloring functions for all built-in grid points.

• We added more math functions to points (Div, Mod, Mul, Dot, PerpDot).
• We added some LINQ-like methods for grids, and added methods to make writing LINQ expressions clearer.
• We added a few shapes for Cairo grids.
• We simplified underlying storage mechanism, making it easier to define your own grid shapes.
• We improved speed and garbage generation of the AStar algorithm. We also added a version of the function that lets you specify the actual cost (not just the estimated cost).
• We fixed many bugs, and also made a few optimizations.
• We restructured the examples so that it is easier to know where to start, and go through them in a sequence.
