Well, I'd say "discovered".
But yeah, back in May 2008 I went looking for good replacements to the r2 B2 … parity alg, and selected one as the best candidate. I shared it with folks on IRC, and they started calling it "lucasparity".
Dan Cohen learned it from me on IRC, then Yu Namakima and...
The simplest would be to invert the moves. R' D' R D has order 6 (i.e. returns to solved after 4 times), so doing the inverse twice is the same as doing it normally 4 times.

Applied to a case with 4 misoriented corners...
I've recently taken to a <U, F, R> alg:
https://alpha.twizzle.net/edit/?alg=R+U+R2%27+F%27+R+U+R+U+R%27+U2%27+R%27+F+R+U+R+U2%27+R%27&setup-anchor=end&stickering=PLL
It's less regrip and keeps AUF, which I find outweighs the nominal speed of other alternatives for me.
This would definitely be a stretch.
Firstly, we don't currently support any "moves" that consist of multiple moves under the hood. There are already some other use cases for this, like HIJK notation for team BLD. However, Karnaugh is much more specialized and complicated — more like...
I'm somewhat amenable to that, but TNoodle itself hasn't switched over. I could also use some stats on exactly which color substitutions are the most common and how much — I've definitely seen a lot of black tiles in Square-1, but I don't know enough myself about whether it usually replaces...
It does! But there are a few caveats:
3D animations are not implemented yet.
We don't yet check bandaging — that is, it lets you cut corners in half like a Square-2. 😆
U and D moves are not animated simultaneously yet.
There was an issue where Square-1 reconstructions could be blocked from...
Indeed, this is something I would love to address.
One important design decision is that the same notation for the same puzzle always means the same thing. For example, it should always be possible to copy a 3x3x3 alg from one web app to another without changing its meaning. It also means that...
Glad to hear it! 😻
In the next 5-10 years I'll be working on making all these projects self-sustaining, but I'll be staying pretty directly involved until then.
Looks like we had a compatibility issue while upgrading our 3D library. It should be fixed now, thanks!
I've fixed a bug where the embedded player would render in dark mode instead of light mode. It should now consistently match your forum color scheme setting again.
A few months back I asked @Lars Petrus to record a video with his own pronunciation of "Sune", since it's a bit subtle.
Here it is according to the Swede himself!
Would it help to have more flexible software, or do you want to stick with the existing setup for now?
For example, it would be pretty easy to make a web page that generates all existing forum scrambles in one go (except Curvy Copter, I'm not entirely sure how scrambles for that are supposed to...
Hmm, I'd say that's more up to @pjk. But I can certainly write different embeddings for players to be used on different pages, if you have a good idea of how to make that easy to use.
Yeah. The solutions is probably to use https://colorjs.io/, but that's 35KB gzipped. I haven't yet tested how...
Ooh, that's a cool tool!
However, color codes are represented as integers in the source and the amount of space taken up by color definitions is tiny, so this is unlikely to be helpful for this project. What we *could* really use, though, is a compact way to do `oklab` color mixing in JS...
Indeed, you'll have to make sure there is a space (or newline) between a move and any other part of an alg.
It should also be possible to embed viewers in the wiki in various ways, if we want to do that.
Back in 2012 when we adopted the new clock notation, we were replacing this (what qqTimer calls "Jaap order"):
In https://github.com/thewca/tnoodle/issues/35 , you can see were were concerned about consistent layout for the scrambles. An early draft in that thread looked like this:
So, we...
Indeed, https://js.cubing.net/cubing/twisty/ has some examples to set up visualizations in different ways. You should be able to place hundreds of these on a page without issue.
If you need a bunch of alg images in bulk, you can also use the experimental tool at...
Could you let us know what's happening instead? I don't know of a reason it wouldn't be working right now, but screenshot of the app and JavaScript DevTools console could be useful in identifying what's happening on your device.
It's not finished but the current moves are defined here: https://github.com/cubing/cubing.js/blob/ac151eb302d51b726dac7569a6b813c28f562393/src/cubing/puzzles/implementations/dynamic/side-events/melindas2x2x2x2.kpuzzle.json.ts#L15...
