[pygame] Re: Hexagonal collision detection?

[rygoody <rygoody@xxxxxxxxx>]

The entire screen is covered in varying shaped polygonal buttons.

And the arrangement of them will change periodically from 5-12
buttons.

The buttons geometrically interlace, but there is no regular pattern
to how they interlace.

It does worry me python wont do it fast enough, but I guess I'll find
out soon enough.
