Note: This program was written on Microsoft Visual Basic Express Edition 2008, so it will not work at all on Macintosh computers. Sorry to all those who use them. In addition, you may need to download and install .NET 3.5 (found here).
This is a program I created to determine the odds of breeding Pokemon. It's quite a bit different from X-Act's since you have a greater degree of control. Instead of 0-30 or 31 for a parent's IV, you input the exact value. Instead of 0-30 or 31 for the Baby's IV, you decide on the exact range you want. Also, you can specify a set of Hidden Power types and a minimum power for your baby to have.
To calculate IVs, I used some variation on the Permutation Counting Principles. Calculating just IVs was fairly straightforward, but I was at a loss at how to incorporate Hidden Powers. In the end, I had my program generate a bunch of text files in the directory "C:\Jiggy's Breeding Calculator\Pokemon\Hidden Power Information" to hold the information needed to calculate with Hidden Powers.
Here's the program. Enjoy!!!
And for anyone that is curious about how it works or would like to try and improve it, here's the source code.
EDIT: Here's an updated version that is much faster. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uwwinm19u9g
