p.s.: like, i've seen one Fallout 2 recreatoin project where they're doing translation of screen coords to hex coords not with two simple formulas, but by looping over 40000 (200x200) hex objects (objects!), and calling *virtual* method to ask if a hex contains such coords. and you know what? *nobody* noticed any slowdown. 'cause there is none.

it took me ~5 mins to visualise scewed coordinate axes and derive the formulas. it took 'em ~30 seconds to write a loop (i guess). and their work is actually *better* than mine: they had 4.30 mins free, while i was doing useless things.
