[plt-scheme] Writing a game and have questions

Have you considered an arithmetic or algorithmic solution, using only 
the coordinates of the mouse click and what you know about hexagonal grid?

The input to your function would be the X and Y coordinates on your 
canvas where the mouse was clicked.  The output of your function would 
be some kind of identifier for the clicked hexagon, such as an object, 
array index, or hexagonal-coordinates.

By sketching this out on paper, I think you will see how you can at 
least narrow down the selected hexagon to only a few.  Once you have 
that coarse mapping between the coordinates, trigonometry or arithmetic 
will tell you to which side of a diagonal line a point falls...
