  Does CyberBoard Run On?</span></h2>
<p>Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10.</p>
<span class="titel">What are Its Features?</span>
<p>CyberBoard attempts to emulate real life game components (boards, pieces, markers...).
  Game Box files hold the boards, pieces, markers etc. Scenario files contain
  the starting situation of a particular game. Game files hold the current state
  of a game as well as its entire history of play. </p>
<ul>
  <li>A Game Designer Program is used to actually design the components
    of a game. </li>
  <li>A Game Player Program is used to create scenarios and actually play the
    PBEM game. </li>
</ul>
<span class="titel">Overall Program Features: </span>
<ul>
  <li>Dockable trays and markers.</li>
  <li>Window tabs that allow direct selection of open windows.</li>
  <li>New Windows XP menu style with icons.</li>
  <li>Customizable tool bars.</li>
</ul>
<span class="titel">Game Designer Program Features: </span>
<ul>
  <li>65536 color (aka 16 bit color 5-6-5 format) support.</li>
  <li>Greatly improved color palette window.</li>
  <li>GameBox files support internal compression of bitmap images. The GameBox file size can now be greatly reduced.
    Multiple levels of compression are supported.</li>
  <li>GameBox files cab be password protected.</li>
  <li>Graphical bitmap editor for manipulating tiles. A global transparent color
    can be defined to allow non-rectangular tiles. </li>
  <li>Free form graphics editor for drawing lines, rectangles, ellipses, and polygons. </li>
  <li>A playing board can be viewed in one of three sizes: full scale, half scale
    and small scale. </li>
  <li>Board editing is done on three drawing layers: A grid layer is sandwiched between two free form drawing layers.</li>
  <li>Create two sided playing pieces. </li>
  <li>Create graphical marker tiles for marking various things during game play.</li>
  <li>Boards can use Hex grids (two varieties), brick grids, and rectangular grids.
    The grid lines can be hidden. </li>
  <li>Snap grids. </li>
  <li>Other stuff...</li>
</ul>
<span class="titel">Game Player Program Features:</span>
<ul>
  <li>Playing boards can be rotated by 180 degrees during play.</li>
  <li>The message history window is now stand-alone and can be docked.</li>
  <li>Message history text is now color coded.</li>
  <li>Playback functionality has been greatly improved.</li>
  <li>New game files by default render locked objects underneath other
      non-locked pieces and markers.</li>
  <li>All three zoom levels are available in the player program.</li>
  <li>Ability to associate text with pieces and markers.</li>
  <li>Supports hidden units and player specific game files.</li>
  <li>Playing piece and maker trays now support several visibility and behavior options.</li>
  <li>Pieces and markers can now be locked so they can't be selected.</li>
  <li>Supports geomorphic construction of boards having hex style cells.</li>
  <li>Supports shuffling (randomizing) pieces in trays and on the playing board. Useful for playing cards.</li>
  <li>The game player program now remembers the layout of open windows within games and scenarios. The layout is restored
    when the file is reloaded.</li>
  <li>Die roller.</li>
  <li>A scenario designer allows you to layout the starting positions of a game,
    define which game boards, and which playing pieces are to be used. The pieces
    that are to be in play are placed in trays or on a board. Trays are defined
    in the scenario files. All game play starts with a Scenario file. </li>
  <li>Moves are exchanged in small files that contain the recorded move so they
    can be EMailed to your opponents. </li>
  <li>Auto stacking of pieces. </li>
  <li>Flipping two sided pieces. </li>
  <li>Rotation of playing pieces and graphical markers to indicating facings.</li>
  <li>Compound moves.</li>
  <li>Two popup windows are available for manipulating playing piece trays. </li>
  <li>A single marker popup window is available for accessing graphical board markers.</li>
  <li>Allows plotted moves so your opponents can see the exact path taken when
    you moved your pieces. </li>
  <li>Text messages can be sent any time while you're recording your moves. </li>
  <li>Maintains the entire history of a game. </li>
  <li>Other stuff...</li>
