    GP2X Text Entry Idea + Prototype App

    Well... TI89 has few more keys ;) so it's somehow better suited for this kind of job. But I think that it will be possible also on gp2x. Maybe it's just me, but I find dasher rather hard for this task. Few minutes ago I tried to enter "http://www.gp32x.de"... And failed. What dasher...

    What Os Do You Use?

    Using only Linux (or any other POSIX like system) may seem odd to people accustomed to Windows because they can only see limitations ('only few comercial games, almost no comercial programs etc'). They don't understand Linux as they look at it from wrong perspective. Once you're deep into...

    GP2X Text Entry Idea + Prototype App

    Good news :) First version of my "dict" library is available here: http://rapidshare.de/files/7048757/dict-0.2.tar.gz.html Features: * T9 like functionality, * BSD licence (most liberal licence possible), * small footprint, * no dependencies, * built-in dictionary of 2000 most common english...

    GP2X Text Entry Idea + Prototype App

    My first prototype in C required 64kB for dictionary of 2000 words. But that prototype was complicated as hell so I throw it away. Currently I'm working on dictionary stored in BER-like format that will require about 32kB for 2000 words. It's worth to mention that this format is designed to...

    GP2X Gp2x Joystick Actual Facts

    Relax... By having source code we are limited by only 2 factors: hardware and time :) Oh, and I think that we shouldn't distract Squidge while he is working on UAE :D

    It looks like some kind of dissociated press. ... or a rouge AI ;-)

    GP2X Text Entry Idea + Prototype App

    I know dasher as it is included in Gnome (Applications->Accessibility->Dasher). It is fast but it requires *insane* amount of focus, and rather large screen. Of course we are interested :)

    GP2X Text Entry Idea + Prototype App

    To be honest I haven't thought about that... Your idea is excellent :) I opt for variant with space in central bank. It is still 'ABC' layout (which is beginner-friendly), but it will enable joystick-only-t9 (it cannot be done without pressing additional key when using central bank). IMO...

    GP2X Text Entry Idea + Prototype App

    'Multi-tap' systems require waiting for timeout when adjacent letters are on the same key. Digraphs like "on" and "ed" are common in english. However I think that the biggest advantage of such 'multi-tap' system is similarity to text entry on some mobile phones. Many mobile phone users are...

    Distraction From Delay Of Gp2x

    Just hold shift and select next point. To draw rectangle select an area and use edit->stroke_selection. I admit that Gimp's GUI is not very user friendly, but after a while You can get used to it :)

    GP2X Text Entry Idea + Prototype App

    I've done a prototype of T9-like text entry (in Python for PC), with dictionary of ~2000 common english words (should cover 80% of communication). You can download it (30kB) from this location: http://rapidshare.de/files/6933297/t9ui.py.html To run this app under windows you must install...

    GP2X Text Entry Idea + Prototype App

    Yep... Predictive text is nice, but I don't like T9, because if you enter a word that is not in the dictionary you have to delete it, switch T9 off, enter it again and switch T9 back. If your T9 implementation doesn't automatically add this new word to dictionary than you have to go into "add...

    GP2X Gp2x Joystick Actual Facts

    I think it would be very good for text entry. Someone should do a library for this, so that every developer could quickly integrate it with his project. I'm thinking about really simple api like this: int transcode_input(int input_register_value); // returns "new input register value" int...

    GP2X Text Entry Idea + Prototype App

    I've just had an idea about text entry on gp2x. Forgive me that the description will be very brief but it's 02:30 and I'm tired. Here it is: * joystick selects character bank (central bank accessed via joystick push) * "ABXY" keys insert letters * "L" key exits text entry * "R" key inserts most...
