For the past two days, I've been experimenting with making an input method that allows me to draw glyphs as keyboard replacement.

To reduce mistakes, I've added alternative shapes for some of the characters so if I miss a direction or two it still understands what I'm trying to type. The whole whole thing is a tiny 1.6kb rom.

@neauoire reminds me of the palm pilot script. :)

@wmd it's a mix and match of my favourite candidates from uniscript, palm graffiti and grail :D

@neauoire
Reminds me of the Graffiti input method on the Palm Pilot. I still miss that device...

@csepp the advantage is that each glyph can be input with a d-pad just as well. It's a pretty clean encode.

I'm working on punctuation mode atm. Let me know if you have any special needs

@neauoire Ooooh, that is pretty smart. I could use that on the DS. 👀

Although for keypad input I was thinking of using a separate "alphabet", since they have different ergonomics and whatnot. But having a single lookup table could save on memory. Hmmmm.
