this is possible...

looks pretty good
cant have enough timers =]
ok, my bad...Kociemba is currently implemented in C and Java. My attempt was a port of the Java implementation to Javascript. I say attempt because it failed for the reasons stated. Please don't accuse me of not knowing the difference between Java and Javascript, it's patronising.
even if I can do this I won't because I would rather not to make it complex by adding Java applets. Even if I really add it, how am I supposed to get the scramble preview to function properly?? I'm bad at Java languagethis is possible...
I'm liking it. I used qqtimer, I switched to http://zzzonked.googlepages.com/testtimer10.html
but it was missing a few functions, and did not have as many puzzles. I will use this once you finish it.
quote from http://cube.crider.co.uk/scrambler.html:
this means that the cube is scrambled, solved using 2-phase algorithm, inverse the solution to make it a scramble. the scramble is only shorten, not really necessary(except if you are not capable of doing 4/5 more moves)Scrambles are built by generating a statistically random cube state and using the Kociemba two-phase algorithm to find a solution to it. The inverse of the solution is then given as the scramble.
I'm not sold before pyraminx is added... (optimal scrambles too xD)
The point isn't to have shorter scrambles, it's to have better scrambles. Making 25 random moves doesn't give a good distribution (some positions are significantly more probable than others), generating a random position does.
Anyway, I can't follow you. Did someone actually say you should add a Java applet to your scrambler? Cride just mentioned it as an example of another window that's nice to have open at the same time as a timer. Quote what you're replying to in the future unless it's obvious.
why is it so important to have pyraminx? it's a CUBE timer, not a puzzle timer. btw, that's not my point. I don't play pyraminx(or should I say "usually don't") and as I said previously, I modified a timer to suit my style, so non-cube is not necessary for me, yet.
Btw, if you really don't want any scramble previews, I can get pyraminx into it.
And, I'll consider optimal scrambler other times, now a little busy.
I mean, you won't even know whether a scramble is optimal or not and the pieces are in random positions or not, unless you are doing BLD. So, you won't even know whether it's really in random position or not unless you examine every pieces during your inspection time.The point isn't to have shorter scrambles, it's to have better scrambles.

No one said that I should add Java applet, but it's indirectly calling me to do so, because something like Kocembia's two-phase algorithm can only easier to do with Java but not JavaScript. If I open that thing in a new window or pop up, I wouldn't even bother the scrambles there, because there's many things blocking in between Java and JavaScript.
Pyraminx is the puzzle I'm best at... so the timer I want to use should REALLY have pyraminx scrambles hehe :Pwhy is it so important to have pyraminx? it's a CUBE timer, not a puzzle timer. btw, that's not my point.

I don't need a scramble preview... just the scramble :P and as long as the move count is sub 20 I'm happy xD

http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/.../jsobject.htmlthis is possible...
Allowing the script to interface with java means you can generate random-state scramblers relatively quickly, and would allow interfacing with a stackmat. it may be a better idea to just implement the whole timer program as a java applet, but doing so means having the java plugin is a necessity, rather than an optional extra for providing random state scrambles + stackmat interfacing.
Read this: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=12969
And look up "Random Walk" and "Uniform Random Distribution"
