Offset is not applying to pointy hex when using distance method

[enpepolicy]

Describe the bug
Offset is not applying to pointy hex when using grid distance method

To Reproduce
const WideHex = defineHex({
dimensions: { xRadius: 50, yRadius: 30 }, // wide hexes
offset: -1, // or 1
})
const distanceCalculator = new Grid(WideHex, rectangle({ width: 10, height: 10 }))

console.log(
Starting coordinates:${boardTile.x},${boardTile.y},
Destination coordinates:${qBoardCoordinate},${rBoardCoordinate},
Distance:${distanceCalculator.distance( [boardTile.x, boardTile.y], [qBoardCoordinate, rBoardCoordinate] )},
distanceCalculator.toJSON(),
)

Expected behavior
When changing offset one of them should calculate 1 and the other 2, as distance as seen in redblob blog.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Honeycomb version [e.g. 4.1.4]
• node 18

Additional context
Not for the moment

Thanks for opening the issue. I'll look into it next week at the earliest.

[flauwekeul]

I don't see how the distance between hexes in a grid is affected by the hex offset setting. And I couldn't find anything related to that on the redblobgames.com website. Do you have a link that explains the expected behavior?

[enpepolicy]

Yes of course, look this link (https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/)

Distance are different in the Coordinate Systems -> offset coordinates-> (pointed odd r and pointed even r) have different distances from 3,1 to 4,2.

HI flauwekeul , could you check it?

[flauwekeul]

I will, sorry for the silence. I was able to reproduce the problem. My free time is very limited, but I'll try to look into it this year. Thanks for your patience.

[enpepolicy]

got it working with this:
` it('calculates the correct distance between hex coordinates in an odd-r layout', () => {
// Tests for horizontal distances
expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([0, 0], [6, 0])).toBe(6)
expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([1, 1], [5, 1])).toBe(4)

    // Tests for vertical distances
    expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([0, 0], [0, 6])).toBe(6)
    expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([3, 3], [3, 6])).toBe(3)

    // Tests for diagonal distances
    expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([1, 1], [5, 5])).toBe(6)
    expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([2, 2], [5, 6])).toBe(5)

    // Test for the same location (distance should be 0)
    expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([4, 4], [4, 4])).toBe(0)

    // Tests for complex distances where rowOffset calculation is necessary
    expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([0, 6], [5, 6])).toBe(5)
    expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([1, 6], [5, 5])).toBe(5)

    // Others
    expect(oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance([0, 0], [2, 1])).toBe(3)
  })
  
  type HexPoint = [number, number]
  type CubePoint = [number, number, number]

 function oddrToCube(hex: [number, number]): CubePoint {
   const x = hex[0] - Math.floor((hex[1] - (hex[1] & 1)) / 2)
  const z = hex[1]
  const y = -x - z
  return [x, y, z]
 }

 function cubeDistance(a: CubePoint, b: CubePoint): number {
  return Math.max(
   Math.abs(a[0] - b[0]),
   Math.abs(a[1] - b[1]),
   Math.abs(a[2] - b[2])
  )
 }

 function oddRHorizontalLayoutDistance(
   hex1: HexPoint,
   hex2: HexPoint
 ): number {
  const cube1 = oddrToCube(hex1)
  const cube2 = oddrToCube(hex2)
  return cubeDistance(cube1, cube2)
 }`

i dunno if this is useful, but I used offset [1,1] and the distances were calculated correctly.

const size = 40;
const gridSize = 11;
const center = 5;

const Hex = defineHex({
dimensions: { xRadius: size/2, yRadius: size/2 },
offset:[1,1]
})
const hexgrid = new Grid(Hex, rectangle({ width: gridSize, height: gridSize }))
