AG-5 thing

How to use

• Type or paste some text into the top window box.
• Select Rocker Typing if simulation of efficient typing on the AG-5 is desired.
• If animating, you can only change the speed before animation starts.
• Click the Animate button to show a demonstration of the fingers at work.
• Or click the Calculate button to just show the results.

What the numbers mean

• Numbers in little colored boxes
  • distance - individual distances traveled laterally by the finger
  • distance % - percentage of the total distance made by the finger
  • strokes - number of key hits made by finger
  • strokes % - percentage of the total strokes made by the the finger
• Numbers in the big white boxes
  • distance - total distance covered by all the fingers
  • strokes - total number of strokes made by all the fingers
  • repetetive strokes - strokes that are consecutive with the same hand or finger

Known limitations

• Once calculation or animation is started, only way to quickly stop it is refreshing the webpage.
• Distances are limited to 9999 feet. Any more and number gets truncated.

Possible upcoming features

• AG-5 vs AG-5, AG-5 vs flat, or flat vs flat, and select if they have Dvorak or qwerty inspired layout
• That's probably it, because classes are soon over. I might not get anything more done.
