Use other shapes than rectangle/square for "buttons"?

How might it be possible to build a UI with Cabbage that has various shapes for user interaction? E.g. tessellating hexagons or triangles that trigger events when pressed.

You could use an image and a combination of chnget:k("MOUSE_X"), and chnget:k("MOUSE_Y") channels to test where a user click happens.

You’d just need to write to appropriate code to see if a click falls within a hexagon?

Actually, you don’t need to bother checking coordinates. Just make each image a button. Check out this example. Of course you can add some kind of animation to each image if you want to give some visual feedback to the user.
