Game Board Design Software



I am a computer programmer.  My brother, who is a school teacher,
asked me to write a program to help him design game boards and
question/answer cards.  He uses board games in his classroom to
reinforce course material but creating the game boards and
question/answer cards by hand was taking too much time.
  I have working on the program in my spare time for about 2 years
now.  My brother and some other teachers in his district have been
using it and giving me feedback.  
  The basic idea of the game board designer is to start with a basic
board layout bitmap file used as a background and then text and
clipart can be placed on the board.  The text and clipart can be
rotated, resized and moved around with just the click of the mouse.
Then the board can be printed out on 1, 2 or 4 sheets of paper (any
size your printer can handle) the board stretched or shrunk to fit.
Many different game boards can be created from the same board layout
bitmap just by placing different text and clipart.
  I have just finished implementing the latest bug and new feature
request list, my brother has over 40 game boards designed,so I decided
to set up a web site to distribute the software.
  You can download a free demo of the software with over 40 gameboards
at  www.classroomgames.net

I'd appreciate hearing what you think of it.
