Version 0.2 Release!

Well here it is, the code release promised by us in our last post. It is available at https://github.com/jlabarbera11/TouchOfMath for your downloading pleasure.

To run it, simply view index.html in a web browser. To use it, type your equation into the text box, and click the display button (or hit enter). Currently, it supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponents, and summations. Dragging an element and releasing it on an element located on the other side of the equals sign will cause the original element (and any companion elements) to be subtracted/divided over to the other side.

Touch of Math works on iOS devices too, although it hasn't been thoroughly tested on iPads or Iphone 4's, so heads up. Also, multitouch is unfortunately not yet supported, but it is in the works for release in a future version.

It is worth noting that there are some font/formatting inconsistencies between the major browsers, so for the best experience, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari are recommended. Also, it may sadden you to know that Touch of Math currently doesn't run at all in Internet Explorer, but don't fret, compatibility will come.

With all that being said, just download it and give it a try, this release isn't perfect (hence the 0.2 version number), but it should give a good idea of what the core functionality of Touch of Math is about.

Enjoy,

Zach and Joe
