Umbrella - Pyraminx Solver

[JustinJ]

To my knowledge, there weren't any great ways of generating pyraminx algs outside of ksolve or Jaap's solver, neither of which is very user-friendly, so I decided to make one.

It also kind of functions as a sim, it has keyboard controls, although there's no rotations or timer, so they're more useful for setting up cases quickly or trying algs out.

I know it works in Firefox and Chrome, I haven't tried anything else, but as long as you're using one of those you should be fine.

It gets a little slow when the states get closer to the maximum depth (10,11 moves) but it shouldn't be too bad, especially because I think those states are unlikely to come as part of a speedsolving method.

This is fantastic

I haven't tried it yet, just a small suggestion: Draw a border around the selected color instead of changing the color. That should make it more clear which color is actually selected (and might even clean up your code).

That's a very good idea, thanks. I made the change.

It works on safari.

Nothing happens when I click "show" for the instructions

Firefox

P.S. Javascript is enabled

Another small thing: Pressing the spacebar scrolls down the page in many browsers. You should prevent that by calling e.preventDefault(). Sorry for not being really helpful only nit-picky. :P

That's really weird, it works for me in Firefox :/ if everything else works, the instructions are kind of unnecessary, so you should still be able to use it fine if you want to. Thanks for the heads-up though.

No, that's great :P I didn't realize it was that easy to stop that from happening, thanks again!

I can generate "Invalid state specified."
I can not change to any color.
There is no option "irrelevant field".
Not working on Opera.
Thanks for the program

Needs an option for blank pieces. Not even blank stickers, just blank pieces. I think all the steps preceding l3e are the ones that need the most development, and being able to ignore l3e while generating algs is essential.

Other than that it is great!
