West Michigan, USA
We start, around the turn of the millenium, with a dot on the map: a small city where tickets to the local cinema cost only two dollars. Just outside city limits sat a parsonage, inwhich memorable history was being formed:
"That's so easy, even Zach can read it!" called one of the others.
Now, others there were, in contrast to the big people, who, here, seemed to run the joint by joint-ownership.
I was beckoned toward a newspaper, where a three-panel cartoon was being indicated.
"Here, read this!"
My first test of skill... would I succeed, proving my capability, or fail, showing the known universe that I was most inferior.
Panel 1: Garfield sits on the counter, saying "Zzzzzzzz" Panel 2: Garfield is still sitting on the counter, Jon is watching. Garfield says "Zzzzzzzz" Panel 3: Jon breaks the pattern of Zee's, and says ________...
I couldn't do it. I was the only person who didn't know how to read.

I've pushed your patches, as well as some documentation for future contributors to find the mailing list: https://lists.sr.ht/~earboxer/swipeKeyboard I'm thinking about adding a section for setting this up, but haven't gotten it working. I think this would be right, but I haven't yet gotten it working in version 0.42.0 (should it work on gedit v48.0?)

Thank you!
I tried it out and it seems to work pretty well (though I haven't tested any of the MIDI stuff yet).
(I like how the encoder can turn multiple steps at once... though we might want to do some frame-skipping so the screen can keep up with it)

Thanks! I pushed this code to the hexperiment branch https://git.sr.ht/~earboxer/HexBoard/tree/hexperiment (had to fix some issues from the email -- some lines were breaking early, and there were some apostrophes where they shouldn't be... maybe sending it as an attachment instead of as the body would work better next time) It's compiled at https://builds.sr.ht/~earboxer/job/1185290 I haven't tested it (my production hexboard is currently tied up working as a QMK keyboard on a computer with almost dayly use) @Nicholas, if you want to say "I consent to license my hexperiment code under the GPLv3" (or some more permissive license), (it's required by the Rotary library for the binary to be under that license). Otherwise, the binary compiled at the link above could be illegal ;)

Yeah, I meant 'making it work with keys'. > I also like Nick's idea of using MIDI > note 69 = A4 as a constant for note mapping, as it seems like that's > the default for retuning in some software. I didn't know about the 69 = A4 thing. (currently, I made the microtonal thing include 440 somewhere, and have 0 ~= C, so that 'red' = C in the default coloring).

Thanks for the math!

I think maybe a good first step is to make a script to generate the dump, as bytes, like
