EdgePad

06/09/04 EdgePad 0.3 released (see below for link). Not added a lot of the interface stuff yet due to lack of time, but this release has a load dialog, several bugs fixed, and a set of detailed instructions.

• Main EdgeWrite site (read this to learn how to write characters)
• A paper on using EdgeWrite with joystick based systems

After reading the above links I wondered how well an EdgeWrite system would perform on the gp32. The result is that it works suprisingly well. After only a couple of days usage I can now enter text fairly quickly (around 10 words per minute) without looking at the gp32 at all, and hardly make any mistakes.

EdgePad is a basic text editor supporting edgewrite and the chatboard (available here). Current version has the following features

• Loading/Saving
• Document hyperlinking
• Scrolling ticker
• 32k(ish) file size limit

• Character Chart (taken from www.edgewrite.com) (PDF)
• EdgePad 0.3
