Bachelor's Lackluster And Ruminantly Gnarled Homebrew Text Editor is meant as a demo to implement Joe Strout's HexInput method of inputting text on portable devices .
This started out as an idea to create an equivalent of QuickWrite's "FUNADY" keyboard layout on the DS using homebrew tools.
User guide
In summary, three key ideas work together to make this input method better than a traditional on-screen keyboard:
User can input a letter by tapping it, or by dragging to it from a neighboring letter.
Letters are arranged in a hexagonal grid so that every one has six neighbors, and all neighbors are equally easy to reach.
Letters are arranged to optimize text input in a particular language (English, in this case).
