This software enables users to create and enjoy tailor-made 2D mazes of high quality for publishing purposes with flexible design options.
One of the key features of Ultimaze is the ability to customize the maze shape by choosing the overall shape from a list of predefined shapes or customizing the shape by adding or removing individual square tiles. Users can draw maze paths manually or generate them automatically, and can also draw some paths manually and let Ultimaze generate the rest. Maze paths are drawn by adding and removing maze walls, the line segments that separate adjacent tiles.
Another striking feature of Ultimaze is the ability to color the maze by adding up to 64 colors to the custom tile palette and using them to paint the tiles of the maze. Users can also paint the maze walls using a similar custom wall palette, and choose the color from among millions of possible colors. The software also allows users to add text boxes to the maze, selecting the font, size, alignment, and color of the text from a custom palette. Pictures can be imported in a variety of formats, and shapes, textures, titles, and toys are provided to help design stunning mazes.
Ultimaze also offers the ability to move and resize each text box and picture in the maze, move and resize the maze itself, and choose which of any two overlapping objects will appear front-most on the screen. When solving mazes, users can display the paths they have tried, move forward automatically to the next intersection, and return directly to any previous location using the mouse. They can also ask Ultimaze to find the solution for them.
Mazes designed in Ultimaze can be saved, printed, and exported in a variety of formats (PICT, JPEG, TIFF, etc.) into programs including Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Corel Painter, Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Freehand, or Quark Xpress for inclusion in newsletters, educational materials, websites, games, etc., or to add special effects. Ultimaze Software and Quick Start Guide are available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, and the User's Guide is available in English, along with a list of translations of important terms.
Overall, Ultimaze offers an impressive range of features that make it a powerful and highly versatile maze designing software, suitable for both personal and professional use.
