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

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!
