I bought a bag of these snacks... mainly because they are hexagonal (and also because I am hungry - and the pretty hexagonal shape makes them more appealing to me)

This booklet can be folded into a tiny hexagon with moderate thickness:

In this perspective the icosahedron drawing fits neatly into this hexagon shape.

So turns out the coordinate math behind hexagonal chess is... Simple I think? If we just agree not to use the directions I've labeled as x and z all we have to do is generate regular chess moves in 3D (a solved problem by yours truly) and then take whatever is in the y-coordinate and add it to both the x and z coordinates. Then we just drop the y coordinate and we should get something 2D that a computer can store into an array. The non-squareness of the board is going to be interesting to deal with but I expected this to be... Well more interesting. I'm kind of disappointed tbh

As a side note I threw this through an AI art style transfer called Prisma because I'd like to post more handwritten notes, but I also want them to be a bit prettier. Interesting experiment on two fronts
