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. Screen Resolution (240 x 320) Contact Information/SupportIf you have any questions, we are always glad to assist you.
