Challenge
Traditional soroban learning faced significant barriers:
- Physical abacus required for practice - expensive and not always accessible
- Touch and drag interactions must feel natural and translate to real soroban skills
- Realistic bead physics and positioning crucial for authentic learning experience
- Cross-device compatibility needed for mobile, tablet, and desktop practice
- Customization requirements for different learning styles and visual needs
Solution
Engineered an interactive soroban simulator with realistic physics and comprehensive customization options.
Technical systems implemented:
- Realistic bead physics → Accurate movement simulation matching traditional soroban behavior and constraints
- Touch interaction engine → Responsive drag-and-drop system optimized for both touch screens and mouse input
- Gesture recognition → Swipe-to-reset functionality with smooth animation transitions
- Customization system → Dynamic sizing, color themes, and layout adjustments for different learning preferences
- Cross-platform optimization → Responsive design ensuring consistent experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices
- Performance optimization → Smooth 60fps interactions even with complex bead calculations and animations

Problem
Learning and practicing soroban can be challenging without the right tools. Traditional methods may not provide the interactive experience needed for effective learning, and many online tools lack customization options.
Solution
Abacus, an online soroban trainer, addresses these challenges by offering an interactive and customizable platform for soroban practice. Users can click or drag the beads, swipe to reset, and adjust the size and colors to suit their preferences, making learning engaging and efficient.
