RexBoard Map Generation And Import

Use this skill for RexBoard helper APIs that create coordinate sets or derive boards from data.

Choose the import/generation path:

Required Setup

This skill assumes RexBoard setup. Hexagon map helpers need an existing board or logic board because coordinate generation depends on board/grid behavior.

References

Read these only when needed:

• references/hexagon-map.md: HexagonMap.hexagon, triangle, and parallelogram signatures and coordinate application.
• references/tilemap-board.md: CreateBoardFromTilemap workflow and layer argument forms.
• references/map-generation-recipes.md: reduced recipes for hexagon, triangle, parallelogram, and tilemap import.

Core Rules

• Hexagon map helpers return TileXYType[]; they do not create boards or render tiles.
• Use board.fit(tileXYArray) when generated coordinates should define board extents.
• createBoardFromTilemap returns a Board from a Phaser tilemap and selected layers.
• createTileTexture creates texture assets, not board coordinates or chess placement.
• Keep generated coordinate sets separate from rendering and gameplay population.

Gotchas

• createBoardFromTilemap returns a board from a Phaser tilemap; verify layers and tileZ conventions before adding game rules.
• Hexagon map helpers are exposed as this.rexBoard.hexagonMap.*, not this.rexBoard.add.*.
• Tilemap import and rendered tile texture workflows overlap; route rendering details to rexboard-rendered-tiles-and-pieces.
