Hi ya'll, first post hurrah!

I've created a hexagon, but I'm stumped as to how I would detect if the mouse has entered within its specific boundaries. I thought that perhaps something along the lines of:

(dist (mouseX, mouseY, hex.x, hex.y) < hex.radius)

might suffice, however I am planning on placing these hexagons into a grid of hexagons. This would, of course, result in either a dead zone between hexagons, or 2 hexagons being selected.

So, any ideas?

Below is the code to create a single hexagon, with a boolean "userClicked" within the hex class waiting for the magic code to solve this issue. Thanks in advance everyone!


int w = 500;
int h = 500;
Hex hex = new Hex (w/2, h/2, 50, 50);

void setup() {
  size (h, w);
}
 
void draw(){
  background (255);
  hex.drawHex();
}

class Hex {
  float hexWidth = 50;
  float hexHeight = 50;
  float x = w/2;
  float y = h/2;
  float sideA_x, sideA_y;
  float sideB_x, sideB_y;
  float sideC_x, sideC_y;
  float sideD_x, sideD_y;
  float sideE_x, sideE_y;
  float sideF_x, sideF_y;
  float hexColor = 255;
  boolean userClicked;
 
  Hex (float tempX, float tempY, float tempWidth, float tempHeight) {
    x = tempX;
    y = tempY;
    hexWidth = tempWidth;
    hexHeight = tempHeight;
  }
 
  void drawHex () {
    pushMatrix();
    translate (x, y);
   
    //Top point.
    sideA_x = 0;
    sideA_y = hexHeight*-1;
   
    //Top left point.
    sideB_x = hexWidth*-1;
    sideB_y = (hexHeight*-0.5);
   
    //Bottom left point.
    sideC_x = hexWidth*-1;
    sideC_y = hexHeight/2;
   
    //Bottom point.
    sideD_x = 0;
    sideD_y = hexHeight;
   
    //Bottom right point.
    sideE_x = hexWidth;
    sideE_y = hexHeight/2;
   
    //Top right point.
    sideF_x = hexWidth;
    sideF_y = (hexHeight*-1) /2;
 
    stroke(0);
    strokeWeight(2);
   
    //
    //Attention! This is the problem part.
    //
    if (mousePressed && dist (mouseX, mouseY, x, y) < hexWidth || dist (mouseX, mouseY, x, y) < hexHeight) {
      fill (0, hexColor, 0);
    }
    else {
      fill (255);
    }
    //
    //Attention! The problem part is above.
    //
   
    beginShape();
    vertex(sideA_x, sideA_y);
    vertex(sideB_x, sideB_y);
    vertex(sideC_x, sideC_y);
    vertex(sideD_x, sideD_y);
    vertex(sideE_x, sideE_y);
    vertex(sideF_x, sideF_y);
    endShape(CLOSE);
    popMatrix();
  }
}
