symmetryKeyfunction
The least spelling of a layout over its eight turns and mirrors: equal keys are the same board. A hexagon is only turned the ways that keep its lattice — half round, and the two diagonal mirrors (a quarter turn then a mirror) — since a quarter turn alone would make its slanting neighbours the wrong pair.
Import it
import { symmetryKey } from "@johnmorrisdotca/tsunagi";
