Last layer scramble plugin for CCT

I've made a modification to the latest cube scramble plugin for CCT 0.9.5 that selects a random OLL and PLL and uses Kociemba's 2-phase solver to generate a shorter scramble for the combined case.

Pre-compiled plugin: http://www.cubing.dk/CubeScramble.class

Source: http://github.com/bebe/calcubetimer/blob/master/scramblePlugins/CubeScramble.java

Backup the old CubeScramble.class plugin in the scramblePlugins folder and replace with this version.

Enjoy!

Great to see a new plugin for cct! Works great over here. I've never really timed my LL before, probably because there's been no good way of scrambling. Thanks!

Sorry for the double post, but the distribution of the ll cases is not correct the way you've implemented generateLLScramble(), right? Not all OLLs and PLLs are equally likely. Wouldn't it be best to generate the last layer case and have cube explorer solve that?

How do you get a plugin to work for CCT? I replaced the CubeScramble.class with the plugin. Is there anything else I need?

Although i dothink generating the case would be better, i do not think that the distribution is a problem

I'm not very good with this kind of thing... but what do I do with the Cubescramble.class that you made? I mean like what exactly do I do? I replace the one in there (after I have kept a copy in the scrambleplugins folder), and I get nothing. thank you

Have you tried restarting cct? Once you do so, 3x3 LL should show up on the list of available scrambles.

Yes, I move the new CubeScramble.class into the scrambleplugins, move and replace, and I lose all 3x3 scrambles.

are you using CCT 0.9.5?

no, 0.9.4

ahh. use 0.9.5. good thinking.

It was a fun little project to do and I did think about selecting the cases based on their probability, but as it is only to be used for practice I found it better to practice all cases with equal probability. You should be good at all cases not just the most likely cases

Neo63: what are you talking about? I've done nothing to the 2x2x2 scramble method.

I think you should make that clear. There's a clear effort to produce high-fidelity scramblers, and if your scrambler doesn't generate random LL scrambles, don't call it that. I would call it something like "Fridrich OLL and PLL scrambler."

Is it normal that 3x3x3 scrambles become random state ?

Yeah Lucas, I use Fridrich so for me the naming is correct. I'll change that.

does anyone know how the scramble generator works in terms of colour schemes, im following the scambles correctly, but i never have the same scramble, perhaps my cube is stickered incorrectly, and if so is there anyway to change the scrambles so that the side colours correspond to my cube?

This doesn't change the scramble, but try File > Configuration > Color Schemes.
