Description: Apps by Origami Toolbox
Based on Jun Mitani's ORIPA desktop application , ORIPA for Android enables origami designers and enthusiasts to test their crease pattern ideas even while on the go! ORIPA for Android retains the ability to check crease patterns against local flat foldability rules and test fold valid crease patterns. Useful for when inspiration for a new origami design strikes while away from your computer or during long flights to origami conventions with no Wi-Fi.
Starting in 2010, when I began to design origami, up until 2015, I typically drew my crease patterns (CPs) with colored pens on graph paper before redrawing the final CP on a computer using vector drawing software. In 2016, I began to use the desktop version of Jun Mitani's ORIPA app, which made my design process much faster. Instead of redrawing entire CPs on paper every time I changed the model, I could easily duplicate existing CP files and make incremental changes to the new files. Sharing mountain/vall
While working on a computer was fine, sometimes ideas would come while I was away from my computer, and I wanted a way to record those ideas. Thus, after a few months of using the desktop ORIPA, I started to work on an Android version of ORIPA. I worked on the project on and off for about a year before it became a working prototype in 2017.
