Then I took a week off of work to focus on the editor. I hate UI work and the only way to get past it was to just get in done. The key to getting it done was someone on the #bevy discord directing me to a discussion on the github about implementing egui widgets as SystemParams: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/5522

It's a little out-of-date now, but I have a gist for it implemented for bevy 0.10:

With this I was able to clean up the UI code and add the functionality I needed.

Showing 3d hex-based map editor. Map is rotated, a mountain tile is placed, cursor moves to the palette and selects a water tile. Places water on map. Then map is moved. Assets from kenney.nl

As of today I now have an infinite hex grid shader in #bevy , with the current cursor position highlighting. Sharing source code because it's always helpful to have an example: https://github.com/dmlary/bevy-hex-grid

Hex-grid outline projected on an xz plane. Camera rotates around. Hex outline at the cursor is highlighted in yellow.
