Arkham Development's Antiryad Gx is a software development tool that attempts to solve the different problems that game designers may be confronted with during the development of a video game. Software development is the translation of a user need or marketing goal into a Software product A video game is a Game that involves interaction with a User interface to generate visual feedback on a video device.
It was developed for the purpose of helping the artist edit the levels of a real-time game by means of an integrated toolset within a standalone development package. A level editor (also known as a map, campaign or scenario editor is a software application used to design levels maps or campaigns Antiryad Gx is both a tool for games creation and a multi-platform 3D engine—especially important as video games increasingly work in three dimensions, and most video equipment can make use of 3D acceleration hardware and firmware. A game engine is a software system designed for the creation and development of computer and video games Hardware is a general term that refers to the physical artifacts of a Technology. In Computing, firmware is a computer program that is Embedded in a hardware device for example a Microcontroller.
A BASIC-type language is embedded and has more than 2800 documented commands available. In Computer programming, BASIC (an Acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of High-level programming languages All programming and computer graphics resources are completely platform independent, so that a product developed in compliance with the Antiryad API should work without modifications on all other supported platforms (such as MS-DOS, Amiga, Mac, Linux and Windows). Computer graphics are Graphics created by Computers and more generally the Representation and Manipulation of Pictorial Data In computing cross-platform (also known as multi-platform) is a term used to refer to Computer software or computing methods and concepts that are implemented MS-DOS (short for M icro' s' oft D isk O perating S ystem is an Operating system commercialized by Microsoft.

More than 2700 pages of documentation are included with the software development suite and this describes all available functions for programmers, artists and developers.
