This wastes much time in the aggregate and the information stands out less clearly than in the ‘boxing’ layout below Frequent typewriter adjustments are necessary to complete the entries (10 horizontal and 4 vertical) because tabulator stops cannot be used for groups of entries and because vertical spacing is not at 1/3″ intervals. This layout, spacing and the use of dotted lines hinders typing. If this is not known it may be as well to design the form for the (minimum) 12″ platen which takes paper 11″ wide and provides a 10″ writing line. The width of the form must be related to the width of the platen of the typewriter likely to be used in completing it. Guide lines or marks at the edge of the form can assist in finding the entry position, or be used as a warning signal that the bottom of the form is about to be reached.Unless continuous stationery or a holding device is used. Entries should not be positioned near the top and bottom of the form it is usually difficult to type within 1″ from the top, or ½″ from the bottom of a document.(a) from one side of the form to the other, enabling bring forward figures to be copied whilst the form is in the machine, or (b) when documents such as ledger sheets or postcards are typed on both sides. When a total is carried forward tumbler printing is useful.repeating a name or address, or entering an amount in words after entering it in figures), make sure that the reference-entry will be visible when the second entry is being typed. If some entries are made by referring to other entries already made on the form (e.g.If possible each new line of typing should begin at the left hand marginal stop position tabulation positions for each line of entries should as far as possible be the same to avoid the extra operations of skipping unwanted tabulation positions.The number of lines of typing should be reduced as much as possible.The following layout arrangements will help to reduce carriage movement and facilitate completion of the form: The spacing of type on many continuous stationery machines and electric typewriters is different from the standard typewriter.įorms for use in typewriters should be designed to avoid the need for hand positioning the platen and to minimise use of the space bar. columns if the tabulator stops can be used (unless such lines are required to assist subsequent work with the form).Īs a general rule, entry spacing can be based on ten (pica) or twelve (elite) characters to the horizontal inch. Nor are vertical lines needed between £ s. Printed writing lines are rarely necessary on forms completed by typewriter (except to divide groups of entries) as they impede typing when it becomes necessary to adjust the machine platen to the line.

Then we added the core components of Citra to the app, and games were booting and playable!īut it still had many bugs and issues: the settings weren’t saving, the button overlay was clipped, there were multiple layout issues, graphical issues, and much more.Īndroid being a diverse OS, each fix had to be extensively tested on a plethora of devices to make sure it didn’t break anything else. SachinVin added initial OpenGL ES support. He figured that since nobody in the core team had any experience with Android development, someone had to start things off somewhere.ĭevelopment started as a basic app with the frontend based off of Dolphin’s Android app. Developmentįor almost a year, bunnei has helmed this development effort and has pulled other developers into working on this. This separation of code logic for core emulation and UI elements paved the way for a smoother development process for Android.īut it wasn’t an easy journey. In this way, developers can ensure that UI elements are decoupled from the core, so that new frontends can be implemented. A fully featured GUI (graphical user interface) powered by Qt.A basic CLI (command line interface) powered by SDL.This is because, Citra supports two interfaces: If you took a look at a Citra build folder for Windows, you’d find two executables citra.exe and citra-qt.exe(which also caused a lot of confusion for a while). We have always supported all three major OS platforms - Windows, macOS, and Linux - but that’s not all. History of Citra - Design Decisionsįrom the very beginning, Citra was developed with cross-platform compatibility in mind. To reduce redundant work, we invited SachinVin to collaborate, bringing us closer to an official Android release. However, what users didn’t know was that due to rising demand for an official Android app, members of our developer team had been working on an Android version themselves. So while the team applauded the efforts of this developer, we had to deny providing support for it because it was unofficial. This led to an increase in support and feature requests of the official team - who had nothing to do with that unoffical Android port. While it granted users their long awaited request, it suffered from quite a lot of performance issues. SachinVin, a developer then outside of the core team, worked hard to port Citra to Android and finally the first iteration of a mobile app was released. Changing Times and Changing Prioritiesįast forward to 2018 and suddenly there it was! This had become such a frequent occurence that we had to add it to our Discord server FAQ.ĭo you plan on making an Android app? No, not at this moment.įrom the users’ perspective, it seemed as if the devs disliked the idea of an Android app.īut for the developers, it was just the abundance of many other features and improvements that took higher priority.Īnd given the huge amount of effort for an Android version, we simply did not have enough time for it. Users began requesting a portable version of it.īeing an emulator for the 3DS, a handheld console, they wanted something they could carry everywhere and play games anywhere, and it came in the form of an Android app.ĭuring the glory days of Citra development, users would ask almost daily if we had an Android app or if we planned to make one. That’s right, you can finally play 3DS games on the go! Users and Devs - A Tale of Perspectives!Ĭitra has great game compatibility and performance (provided you have the hardware), cross-platform support, multiplayer support, and much more.īut ever since Citra Desktop achieved a stable state, the most requested feature has been something entirely unrelated to the core emulation. Today we are unveiling the most requested addition for Citra: Android Support!
