The Yard 1.0 (Complete Source Code and Documentation) 1.0



Image

For Windows Mobile 5.0-6.1 Devices
By Pakii Software

Overview

Think "Pick - A - Part" for software developers, educators, students and the curious minded.

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 Intersection
- Line Segment Intersection
- 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.
- Mini game "Amazing" demonstrates finding your way through each maze.
- 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 Yard Lite includes interactive demonstrations for over 30 topics, complete with on-device Behind-The-Scenes and Step-By-Step explanations (with code snippets) of how things work.

The full version contains the complete source code (visual basic.net) for the entire program! No hidden licensing fees or monthly charges.

Save yourself time, energy and frustration. Stop wandering the Internet and take a stroll through The Yard.
