Fun Fact: Microsoft's handwriting works perfectly for exactly One person. It was trained on Jerry Pournelle's manuscripts. So, it worked absolutely great for him. RIP Jerry.

@endlesswanderer1753 2 жыл бұрын

I don't know the tech behind touch pads/letter recognition, but I know the Nintendo DS did it by recognizing the stroke order of each letter/number. Rather than detecting the 'shape' of the pixels you drew, it was detecting how many strokes in each direction you made to make the letter. That's why in Brain Age or similar games, sometimes you'd write a letter differently from how the DS expected, and it would generate an entirely different letter. However, you could mess with it because of this. You could make three tiny, quick marks in the correct motions, and it would generate an A. Or, you could make a long, continuous drawing, but as long as you did it in the basic 'strokes' of an R, you could make it detect a picture of a cat as the letter R. The speedrunning TAS community has messed with this, making bots draw complicated artworks in Brain Age's math test, but getting every single answer correct. If you want to see this in action, look up the AGDQ 2016 Brain Age TAS. It's incredible.

@ramboti6402 Жыл бұрын

Most likely because that's how you write kanji in japanese (so most likely also applies in chinese) because there is a stroke order "top to bottom left to right"-really really oversimplified. There are dozens of rules so yeah,with latin letters we have a lot less problems

If you press the pen and hold it in place the system won't register it as a left click right away because if you hold long enough it will do right click instead. Presumably the hold tool will disable this delay, making it possible to press and hold on a scroll arrow. This doesn't help much with a standard scroll bar where you can drag the slider but does for a "spin box" control where you only have the two arrows.

Funny fact I realized it was used later in the Stargate Series Stargate Atlantis. Dr Elizabeth Weir used one in nearly every episode.

I think that a lot of this older software tends to recognize lowercase e's only when they start from the middle and go around rather than starting from the bottom and going up and inwards. I saw people having a lot of issues with lowercase e's in particular when games on the DS, cause I'd never have any issue cause I'd start from the middle but any time I'd give the game to someone who wrote e's the other way it would almost always mistake it for something else. The letter that I always had issues with myself was actually lowercase a, cause I would write it without the hook at the top and it would never get it right

Wacom bundled something very similar to “Hoop Strategy Game” with their early Bamboo tablets, with a ball, but there were more obstacles and sound effects and animations. Edit: ew, the way the pieces lazily rotate and don’t snap to each other very easily in “Puzzle Game” really bothers me for some reason. Also this naming scheme and some of those settings panels really give “unfinished cancelled betas to pad out the pack” vibes for sure. Power Paint is surprisingly powerful though. But the UI needs some work. I can see why they just slightly spruced up the edges of Win98 paint for XP, but it’s neat they were working on something more powerful for a time. Layers, granular brush settings and pressure sensitivity would have all made some basic painting programs redundant if management had put the work into finishing it.

It's the first time I've heard of many such admirable topics from you (and some other KZfaqrs). It is a great luck that you live in places where such things happen right away. Also, can you try everything in this video on Windows 10 or 11? It'll be pretty fun. You will return to the Tablet PC Edition section after this trial. Say what? 😅

It’s much harder to do but it can still happen. I’ve got a near 15 year old LCD screen, which had the same file browser window sitting on it when I wasn’t doing anything else with it. Now there’s a weird scanline looking kind of effect on the portion of the screen where it was, when displaying other stuff. It doesn’t disrupt daily use - but then neither does other screen burn generally.

Sounds like you’ve already got a plan - make videos of doing all that with it! And keep a notebook or digital file with a list of a bunch of ideas for it, whether they’re good or bad, you can come back and judge it later. It’s more important to capture fleeting ideas than to judge them in-situ!
