The Yard - The Yard is designed for anyone interested in learning how realistic game effects actually work. If you are writing a a game or simulation for the Windows Mobile OS and unsure about how to add realistic physics, collision detection, collision reactions and a host of other features to your games, The Yard will save you an incredible amount of time and energy.
Areas of The Yard:
Movement (i.e. mechanics)
This section covers ways to move your objects in a realistic manner which includes the following:
How will you know when two or more objects collide?
The following types of collision detections are included.
* Circle vs. Circle
* Circle vs. Line
* Rectangle vs. Rectangle
* Line Segment Intersection
* Projection
* Point vs. Circle
Collision Reactions
How should your objects respond after a collision?
The following types of collision reactions are covered.
* Circle vs. Circle (i.e. Billiard ball reactions)
* Circles vs. Line
* Rectangle vs. Rectangle
Reactions are based on real physics using the principles of conservation of momentum and energy.
Tile Based Worlds
How do you create reusable dynamic game-boards?
* Sample game-board engine makes it easy to design and save game-boards.
* Create various levels for your games.
* Once a game-board is created, it is automatically saved.
* Walls and barriers in the game-board have built in collision detection.
Maze Builder
Easily generate and save a perfect maze.
* Size of each cell can be adjusted.
* Each maze is different but built according to your specifications.
* All mazes are "perfect", having only one possible solution.
* Mazes are automatically saved for future use.
Isometrics
Translate an object’s 2-D coordinates to a 3-D top down view.
Create the illusion of movement in a 3-D space without overtaxing the CPU and draining excessive battery power with real 3-D graphics.
What makes The Yard so unique?
Currently when a windows mobile developer needs to add a feature to their application, they have to search for an online tutorial, download it and compile it. In most situations the article is to old and no longer works for the current development tools (i.e. Visual Studio). When it does work, it is often not the effect that you were really looking for.
The Yard allows you to test each effect on your actual device. Most of the demos are interactive and allow some of the parameters to be manipulated for a broader range of testing. When you find what you need, simply go and get the code.
The full version contains the complete source code (visual basic.net) for the entire program! No hidden licensing fees or monthly charges.
You will also receive complete paper documentation (.pdf format) for all of the Behind-The-Scenes and Step-By-Step on device documentation. The paper documentation is much easier to work with vs. reading things on the small PDA screen.
· Over 30 fun and interactive demonstrations of each topic.
· On-device documentation for each subject.
· Behind - the - scenes area gives you a complete overview of how the effect works.
· Step - By - Step section walks you through the process of implementing the code and includes code snippets which can be copied and pasted.
· Free mini games
· Tile Based World engine
· Maze creation engine
