Super Haxagon, formerly named Super Hexaspire, is a cross platform, open source [http://superhexagon.com Super Hexagon] clone for the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, Windows, Linux, and the [https://education.ti.com/en/products/calculators/graphing-calculators/ti-nspire-cx-cas TI-Nspire] (yes, the calculator).


#Super-Haxagon
It is developed in C++ and uses no additional libraries for the core logic, making it easy (in theory) to port to new platforms. It also has a GUI based level editor called [https://github.com/RedTopper/Haxa-Editor Haxa Editor].

==Features==
* Cross Platform.
* Widescreen support.
* High Refresh Rate support.
* Custom Levels.
* OGG decoder for BGM.
* High Score Saving.


== Download ==
==Installation==
Available in 3DSX and CIA formats.
* CIA - Install the .cia with the CIA manager of your choice.
* 3DSX - Use the .3dsx provided with the Homebrew Launcher.


You can download the latest build on [https://github.com/RedTopper/Super-Haxagon/releases the releases page] to the right.
Additionally, feel free to check out the level editor at [https://github.com/RedInquisitive/Haxa-Editor Haxa-Editor]. There's a wiki that documents how to use it. External levels are supported by dropping the levels.haxagon in sdmc:/3ds/data/haxagon/. They'll load on the home menu after the builtin levels.


== Features ==
'''Note:''' You must dump your [[DSP1 3DS|DSP firmware]] to hear the music.


* Cross Platform
==User guide==
* Widescreen support
Super Hexagon is a fast-paced twitch game in which you control a triangle on a hexagonal grid in the center while walls come from the edges of the screen.
* High Refresh Rate support
* Custom Levels
* OGG decoder for BGM
* High Score Saving


== Building ==
The controls are simple: you must pivot the triangle to the opening in order to survive.


Super Haxagon targets the 3DS, Switch, Windows (MinGW + MSVC), and Linux. For desktop platforms, it uses a cross platform library called SFML, so it will probably also compile on other platforms that support it.

Super Haxagon, formerly named Super Hexaspire, is a cross platform, open source Super Hexagon clone for the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, Windows, Linux, and the TI-Nspire (yes, the calculator).

It is developed in C++ and uses no additional libraries for the core logic, making it easy (in theory) to port to new platforms. It also has a GUI based level editor called Haxa Editor.

Features

  • Cross Platform.
  • Widescreen support.
  • High Refresh Rate support.
  • Custom Levels.
  • OGG decoder for BGM.
  • High Score Saving.

Installation

Available in 3DSX and CIA formats.

  • CIA - Install the .cia with the CIA manager of your choice.
  • 3DSX - Use the .3dsx provided with the Homebrew Launcher.

Additionally, feel free to check out the level editor at Haxa-Editor. There's a wiki that documents how to use it. External levels are supported by dropping the levels.haxagon in sdmc:/3ds/data/haxagon/. They'll load on the home menu after the builtin levels.

Note: You must dump your DSP firmware to hear the music.

User guide

Super Hexagon is a fast-paced twitch game in which you control a triangle on a hexagonal grid in the center while walls come from the edges of the screen.

The controls are simple: you must pivot the triangle to the opening in order to survive.
