| All of the pieces of "a castle under construction" posted on The Fan by Buxeria have been collected in a CyberBoard ver. 3 gamebox. They are grouped by type and accessible from a drop-down list. | You click on a piece to select it, then drag it onto the "map" and align it with the hex grid (which can be turned on and off). | Then click and drag another piece and align it with the first. You can build a large castle quickly. |

|
| Right-click to bring up a menu with several useful commands. Any piece can be placed on top of other pieces ("Move to Front") or under other pieces ("Move to Back"). A piece can be rotated to any angle. All pieces can be locked into place (& unlocked again) to prevent being moved accidentally. | You can display the image at half-scale ... |
or at 1/4 scale on a Jump Map. Once the castle is finished, you can store it as a bitmap on your hard drive. I built the castle shown above in about 1 hour (click on the image to display the full castle).
At present, the Castle Construction Kit is only a prototype. It needs a complete set of images of the various parts of a fully built castle, together with trees, bushes, rocks& clear ground, etc. Counters can also be added to the gamebox for PBEM play. Alex |
