Siteswap State Explorer

Now that this forum is already into explorers, I present to you my new state exploring toy:

I hope you like it!

Neat. Well done. And now I have to type...
520401

I'm glad the Edge agrees it is valid!

Very nice!

I’m going to have to read about states. I’ve been enjoying playing with siteswap recently, particularly because of the ‘well of course that works!’ feeling I’ve been getting after understanding something. But I don’t yet have that feeling whenever I see state stuff, even though it should clearly eventually give me that feeling!

It took me a while to get to 520401 with Siteswap Explorer, by the way. What with just typing the URL in seeming unfair.

I went: 333
Swap to 423,
Subtract period from the 3 to get 420
Add cycle to get 420420
Swap a 2 and 0 to get 420411
Swap the first 1 with the first 4 for 520401.

That's a neat little gadget. I'm always amazed by the creative juggling related non-juggling things we do!

I like this. I think Daniel Shultz did a similar thing with a wheel and markers. (I think it was a clear cd in a case but my memory is hazy)

Your memory is correct!

I had not seen it when I made this, but he showed it to me as soon as I posted the video.
