Having analysed this arrangement of cells I have worked out the distances
between cells. Below is a sample of square roots of distances from the
cell marked 0 on alternate layers of 6x5 and 5x6, shown as digits in base
36 (A=10, B=11,... Z=35). Thus moves can be traced for Rook (0149G...
same
or successive levels), Bishop (028I... same or alternate levels), Unicorn
(03C... successive or alternate levels), and Nightrider (05K... same or
successive levels). Note however that the 9 on the level adjoining the
starting one is NOT part of a Rook move, but a coprime move like 2:2:1 on
a cubic-cell board. Note also that the number 7 represents exactly the
commonest oblique piece of hexagonal-cell variants.
