Scientific-style chart on a cream background illustrating the HexWord ring detent mapping formula. Title reads "HEXWORD · RING DETENT MAPPING" with subtitle "sine-based tactile feel · sticky · free · snap". Formula shown top-left: "stickiness = ring_spin − 0.08 × sin( ring_spin × 6 )". Main chart plots a sine wave with 6 complete cycles over x-axis "ring_spin (radians, one full rotation = 2π)" from 0 to 2π (ticks at 0, π/3, 2π/3, π, 4π/3, 5π/3, 2π) and y-axis "sin( ring_spin × 6 )" from -1 to +1. Red shaded regions labelled "STICKY" mark first half of each cycle; blue shaded regions labelled "SNAP" mark second half. Three callout annotations read: "sin = +1 / stickiness lags / ring_spin → sticky", "sin = 0 / free transit", "sin = −1 / stickiness leads / ring_spin → snap". Two bottom-right callouts read "× 6 → one cycle per hex position" and "0.08 = detent strength / one tunable constant". Right panel shows a flat-top hex flower diagram: a dark center hexagon surrounded by 6 edge-aligned ring hexes numbered 1–6, coloured red (sticky), green (free), and blue (snap) with a legend. Bottom label reads "hex ring · 6 positions · 2π radians".

So as sin rises to +1, stickiness lags ring_spin and it feels sticky. As sin returns to 0, the ring spins freely. As sin falls to -1, stickiness lags ring_spin and it snaps home.

We get a sine wave per hex position (ring_spin * 6), so the sine wave rises and falls for each hex. If we did not multiply by six, the sine wave would affect one entire rotation.
Here, 0.08 is the detent strength, or how quickly it snaps into place. This is a tunable variable to get the right feel.

A full spin of the ring is 360 degrees, 2π, or 6.28 radians. Essentially, the number of degrees measured in radians.
So the formula would become: stickiness = ring_spin - 0.08 * sin(ring_spin * 6)

Anyway, I wanted a physically tactile feel to spinning the ring. Like a combination lock. Sticky at the notch. Free in transit. And magnetic (snaps home) as it locks.
The solution turned out to be #math and #sin.

My HexWord puzzle uses hex flowers and hex rings. A flower refers to the center hex and its 6 adjacent hexes, while a hex ring is just the 6 adjacent hexes without the center hex.

Picotron Scoresub Tutorial taxicomics published a post on Ko-fi

I wrote a little guide on the new scoresub system in #picotron to hopefully inspire more games to get highscores in!

It is a brilliant new feature, coming back to my games to see new names on the highscore board makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Thank you to all those who played them!
