SolveClock (solveclock.com) is a speed solving timer I've been working on. It's just a rough draft right now, but I plan on implementing many more features in the future. Press SPACE to start and SPACE to stop.

Currently, it only generates a scramble for the 3x3x3, and it has only the basic stats; but, I'm looking for comments or suggestions for future features. What are some of the essentials a speedcubing timer needs? What features are missing from your favorite timers? What should I start working on first?

Current features in the works:
  • Additional scrambles
  • Additional stats and graphs
  • +2 and DNF options for times
  • Manual editing of times
  • Saving the scramble with the time for future reference
  • Session persistence in online database

All criticisms and suggestions are welcome! :D

Personally i think if you were able to embed a graph or download the results automatically into a graph would be perfect for beginners or intermediate cubers.

Any way to do that?

1) WCA official inspection
2) Able to make table, graphs and chart
3) Counting mo3, avg 5, avg 12 and avg 100
4) Counting standard deviations
5) Simple graphic (I could give you an idea, maybe I can upload a picture soon)

Thanks for the great ideas. What kind of simple graphic do you mean?

Hey folks,

SolveClock.com has been updated with several new features. Every scramble is saved along with the time. Also, a graph is shown that plots the progress of your solve times. The times can be graphed by date/time or by the solve number.

Check it out! A ton of new features are on the way, including:

  • Session storage in an online database
  • Scrambles for more puzzles
  • +2 and DNF options
  • Manual solve time adding and editing
  • Customizable stats
  • WCA inspection

As always, any comments, suggestions, or bug reports are welcome. Have a happy new year!

- Matt

Hey guys,

SolveClock.com has undergone some improvements. The big thing? Session persistence! Your solves are stored in a cookie, so they won't disappear if you leave the page. The graph has gone through an upgrade, and there's lots of cosmetic improvements too. Check it out!

Nice timer.

Some suggestions/observations:

  • Standard deviation would be useful
  • "Clear times" command is hard to find
  • WCA nomenclature for "average" is "mean" and "last X of Y" is "average or Y"
  • Allow storage of more times. If space is a problem, you could save some by storing just the RNG seed (for the scrambles) and the solution times themselves

I thought this was a clock simulator :)

I don't like how EVERY solve is graphed. It would be cool if it graphs every avg of 5. So if you do 12 solves, there would only be 2 points on the graph. Maybe the user can change it to every 12 solves.
