Question: Must the widgets be represented as distinct objects in the code examples? If so, that would preclude the use of things like the [[wp:Flyweight pattern]], which strikes me as a particularly appropriate tool for this problem. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 18:10, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
:Personally, I would imagine that a rectangular background should be permitted. I would also imagine that any implementation of "widget" should be permitted. Finally, I would imagine that the task's slippery use of "honeycomb" (initially it's the collection of widgets and later on it's a single widget) and color (initially all colors are the same and later that becomes a non-specification) should be ignored. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 20:04, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
:: Ok, there were some changes made. On the selection of a hexagon, should the previous hexagon's 'selected' appearance/state be cleared? (i.e. should any previously-selected hexagon return to its original color?) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 20:12, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Mark, you might consider uploading a simple image (a low-filesize PNG would be perfectly appropriate) to illustrate. (An animated GIF to demonstrate behavior wouldn't be bad, if you can swing that) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 20:20, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
It was looking good, but I think the requirement for the message output and the each-hex-only-once made it more complicated than the gains in illustrating the concepts involved. The user will know that X was selected because the hex changed color, and I don't see the illustrative benefit of each-hex-can-change-only-once. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 02:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
This reminds me of a [[wp:Blockbusters (UK game show)|gameshow that used to be on UK TV]]. More on topic, would it be an acceptable solution of the task if there was a single containing widget containing a grid of hexagonal active regions that can be colored/highlighted appropriately? That's much easier to implement… –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 09:44, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
This task seems oddly specific. --[[User:Paul.miner|Paul.miner]] 22:40, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
