MacJuggle 1.0.1
Jugit Siteswap for Macintosh
6 October 1996

MacJuggle is a simple siteswap juggling animator for the Macintosh.  There's a
lot of explanation of siteswap available on the net (especially at the Juggling
Information Service, see below), so I'll not try to explain it again here. 
Here are just a few notes on the current interface to MacJuggle.

The "Juggle" Menu
-----------------

Site Swap Pattern (cmd-J)
    Select this to view a siteswap pattern.  In the dialog, type in the pattern
    as a series of space-separated decimal numbers.  For example, enter
        4 4 1
    to view an asynchronous box pattern.  Enter
        6 6 6 7 1 7 7 7 1 6 1 5
    to see a cool pattern Boppo came up with.
    The Pattern Name field is currently ignored.

Hand Pattern
  Boppo's Mess
    This is what I used to think Mills Mess was, but Boppo convinced me
    otherwise.  Boppo calls this the "4 point method," I call it Boppo's Mess.
    Generally used with a "3" pattern, but looks cool with many patterns.
  Burke's Barrage
    Designed to go with the "3 4 2" siteswap pattern.  Note that while "4 2 3"
    and "2 3 4" are technically the same pattern as "3 4 2", they won't look
    right.  Use "3 4 2".
  Cascade
    The standard "throw inside, catch outside" motion, for all patterns.
  Mills Mess
    Generally used with a "3" pattern, but looks cool with many patterns.  Note
    that it's not my fault there's no apostrophe after "Mills" - that's how
    Steve wants it.
  Reverse Cascade
    "Throw outside, catch inside."  Good for showers too (e.g. "5 1").
  Stationary
    Hands don't move at all.  Try "6 1 2" (approximation of synchronous box).
  Transfer
    Also called "the machine."  Designed for the "3" pattern.
  Windmill
    One hand throws under the other but catches in the normal position.

Configuration (cmd-E)
  Frames Per Hand Pattern Segment
    Controls the speed of the animation.  A higher number gives a slower, more
    detailed animation.
  Gravity
    I'm not sure how the gravity control works, except that if it's 1 the
    pattern should roughly fit in the window.

Sound
    Toggles the use of sound.
