dAbacus - Although this program is for fun, I wrote it for a purpose.
I had a problem that needed to be solved and decided to write a palm program to help.
In keeping with a good programming philosophy, I decided to write the program to not only solve my own dilemma, but make it as broad as possible so other people could use it for other purposes. My conclusion was to create an abacus.
I have added various features to the program to make it very useful.
How to use the abacus:
I've tried to make this as intuitive as possible, but just in case you can't read my mind, here's how it goes:
Tap the bead that you want to move. The bottom 5 beads each hold a value of one. The top 2 beads each hold a value of 5. These values are multiplied by 10 per column to the left of the first. Once you have a value greater than 10 in a column, the abacus automatically rounds the value to the column to the left.
If you would like to account for decimals, use the page-up/down hard button. This moves the decimal bar.
You can copy the value into the clipboard from the "Ftns" menu or c-shortcut.
You can change the color of the bead or bars from the "Prefs" menu
