and the curious minded.
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.
Special Features
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
Areas of The Yard
Movement (i.e. mechanics)
This section covers ways to move your objects in a
realistic manner which includes the following:
Acceleration
Buoyancy
Friction
Gravity
Projection
Rotation
...and more
Collision Detection
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.
Save yourself time, energy and frustration. Stop wandering
the Internet and take a stroll through The Yard!
Compatibility
Windows Mobile 6.0 Classic and Professional.
Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC/Pocket PC phone edition.
Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition.
Mazes are automatically saved for future use.
