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/
