- SiteSwap v1.0 beta 2
- --------------------
-
- What is SiteSwap?
-
- SiteSwap is a freeware juggling animation program for the palm pilot.
- It is based off of Glenn Hutchings source code for Juggle v1.0 and is
- licensed under the gnu general purpose license (see license.txt for
- details). Juggle v1.0 was written for unix and was ported to the
- palmOS by Stuart Macmillan as SiteSwap (versions 0.08 to 0.1 alpha).
- I have since updated Stuart's source code, so any questions, comments,
- or bug reports for this version of the program should go to me (Nathan
- Peterson) at nathan@juggler.net. You can contact Glenn Hutchings at
- zondo@hunting2.demon.co.uk or Stuart Macmillan at
- stuart.macmillan@macsch.com.
-
- Where can I get the latest version?
-
- The latest version can be found at
- http://www.place.org/~nathan/siteswap/palm/
-
-
- What improvements have been made over the last version?
-
- The following bugs have been fixed since the beta 1 release:
- - On some PDAs, juggling the kitty would cause a fatal error.
- - Memory leak was identified and fixed. This would crash low memory PDAs
- - Older PDAs would not refresh the screen properly at times.
-
- Everything should work properly. If you find anything that
- doesn't work, send me an email at nathan@juggler.net. It definitely
- should not crash, if it does, I would like to know about it.
-
-
- Are there any known bugs in this release?
-
- No. There are no known bugs in this release. However, I have not fully
- tested this program on all palmOS devices, so there could be some
- problems that I don't know about. That's why I need feedback from you
- guys if you find any bugs.
-
-
- What features does it have now?
-
- - Generate random siteswap patterns, select out of a list, or make up
- your own.
- - Uses base 36 notation for siteswap entry. That means A-Z are valid
- digits (A=10, Z=35).
- - Does not support multiplex or synchronous notation, but will accept
- all other valid siteswap notations.
- - Has adjustable speed.
- - Can change the type of objects that are juggled.
-
-
- What extra features are planned for v2.0?
-
- - Support for multiplex and synchronous siteswap notation (this is not
- trivial mind you).
- - Use more realistic animation (i.e. scooping, use real parabolic
- paths, scale heights accurately, and scale balls with height)
-
-
- I have a suggestion for feature I want implemented, should I send you
- an email?
-
- Absolutely! I can't guarantee that I will implement it, but I
- appreciate all suggestions.
-
-
- Can I have a peek at the source code?
-
- Yes! This program is open source (see licence.txt). You can download
- the latest source code at http://www.place.org/~nathan/siteswap/palm/
