~ Landscape architecture

~ Graphics game development

~ Business presentations

~ Graphic art

Fast and easy to use, with or without a mouse.

Drawing features include:

~ Lines -- parallel, spoke

~ Circles -- arcs, pie slices, ellipse

~ Curves -- sine, rose, spiral

~ Others -- dots, vectors, polygon, fillets and arrows

Paint features include:

~ Spray paint

~ Shading

~ 29 colors

~ Modify color

~ 64 fill patterns

~ Fade/shift/strip colors

Maximum drawing size is 55120 x 1600 with 64 layers.  Thirty-six text
fonts are included in the registered version, four fonts in the
shareware version, with the ability to create your own.  It can read and
write HP soft fonts.  Text can be placed at the cursor location,
justified, moved, rotated, and imported a an ASCII file.  Screen
modification includes all standard options and a few unusual ones.

Additional features include object area calculation, animation,
templates, banner/poster printing, macro language, and powerful
slide-show system.

The newest version of PC-KEY-DRAW also includes HYPERDRAW.  HYPERDRAW
provides a means to link related screens of information together in a
database structure that is ideal for a variety of tasks such as teaching
aids, interactive slide shows, image organization, drawing detailing,
project scheduling, cataloging, process diagraming, and much more.
There is also a full interactive tutorial that uses the linked screens
of HYPERDRAW to teach the basic drawing commands of PC-KEY DRAW.

                       Daedalus' Labyrinth
                         A 3-D Maze Game

In the September, 1988 issue of Scientific American, A. K.
Dewdney discusses three dimensional mazes and presents a 3-D maze
based on the legend of Daedalus' Labyrinth.  The discussion of
three dimensional mazes is fascinating and inspired me to create
a computer version of the maze using the HyperDraw capability of
PC-KEY-DRAW.

MAZE.ARC contains a number of screen files for PC-KEY-DRAW, Ver
sion 3.50 or later, that form a 3-D maze.  You can move through
the various levels of the maze by moving the cursor with a key
board, mouse, or joystick and clicking to go up or down in the
maze to another level.  A map of the entire level is available by
clicking outside of an up or down button.  A thread back to the
surface is provided by the <Back Space> command.

To use the maze start by creating a subdirectory on your hard
disk.  Copy MAZE.COM into the subdirectory, about 800K will be
needed.  Run MAZE.COM and it will create the screens that will be
needed.  Run PC-KEY-DRAW, Version 3.5 or later.  Set "Drive for
Completed Drawings" as the drive and subdirectory that contains
the unarced files of MAZE.COM by using the Status Screen
<Ctrl-s>.  Load the first screen using <F8 o START(Cr) y>, where
(Cr) stands for <ENTER> or <Return>.  Follow on screen instruc
tions.  Click on START.

To learn more about this and other three dimensional mazes, check
out Scientific American, Computer Recreations, September, 1988.
Enjoy the maze and PC-KEY-DRAW.  Good luck in finding a solution.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome.
