Drawing Hexagon grid in Cocos 2d-x

I ended up using CCDrawNode to drawn the hexagon myself, this way I have the desired hexagonal touch space, and I don’t have to make any extra calculations to check witch hexagon was touched.

Here’s the algorithm:

Hexagon::Hexagon(float hexagonWidth, float hexagonHeight, Color4F fillColor)
{
    float width = hexagonWidth;
    float height = hexagonHeight;

    _drawNode = CCDrawNode::create();
    Point vertices[6] = {
        Point( 0.f, height/2 ),
        Point( width*1/4, height ),
        Point( width*3/4, height ),
        Point( width, height/2 ),
        Point( width*3/4, 0.f ),
        Point( width*1/4, 0.f )
    };

    Color4F borderColor = {0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f};
    _drawNode->drawPolygon(vertices, 6, fillColor, 0.f, borderColor);
    _drawNode->setAnchorPoint(Point(0.5, 0.5));
}
