''Name:'' Abacus JS
''Name:'' Abacus JS
''Description:'' I am porting the current Abacus activity from python to JS, this is part of the larger push by Sugar Labs towards JS (most GSoC projects are JS ports). Although I do plan to add some new features, the biggest benefit for users would be speed as JS is usually 6-6.5 times faster than Python. In this project I would be using standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JS)

''Timeline:'' I have a little more than 8 weeks of coding time and eleven abacai to code. A lot of these abacai are similar to each other so I plan to divide them into groups where a lot of code can be reused and then start from the easiest group. This will help learn as I progress and also save me time.

* Week 7&8 : I leave these weeks as buffer in case something gets delayed.

''Past Work:'' I have created many small sites as a hobby and once created an app with PhoneGap for learning purposes. I have created a game with Unity3D(uses JS) too. Infact to see how difficult creating a abacus would be, I tried my hand at the Binary Abacus and will upload the file and update with a link soon.
