I cannot for the life of me work out why it is relatively easy to
tessellate hexagons in BBC BASIC
on my BBC MODEL B while it is such a P.I.A. in LiveCode.

Not sure whether you really want to know or not ;-)
Richmond puts his finger on it really. Most of the properties of a graphic polygon don’t
relate to geometric features of the polygon itself - except when it is a rect. So, as
Richard says, tiling them or otherwise changing properties of target and adjacent hexes on
the fly will involve what the Bash Street Kids called "hard sums”
<https://www.beano.com/posts/beanotown-confidential-bash-street-school-staff-room>.
If I do go with hexes, I’m thinking the lazy way (my way) would be to simply
show hidden hexes rather than allow allow true creation. That would mean
having a hard edge - which on the plus side would at least prevent Richmond’s
flat earther’s falling off.
Best wishes,
