Since I started solving the cube almost four years ago I've been into the ideas and figuring out things more than speed.
My two biggest problems have been:
1. Calculating the amount of cases for steps. In my time using the forums, somehow I've never seen anyone describe how they do it. I've always turned to Bruce Norskog to do it for me. Anyone here willing to tell me how it's done?
2. Using Cube Solver, ACube, and Cube Explorer. I've been stuck finding my own sequences for the steps I think of. I usually end up with ones that are very short and very comfortable but there are usually some very bad ones that are 16 or 17 moves long.
-So I've tried using Cube Solver but it seems to take forever, I never get anything out of it.
-I've tried figuring out ACube many times but I just don't understand it. It says something like putting stuff in "command prompt". That's the "Run" thing right? I've tried typing what it says but it just doesn't work for me. I understand how to put the cubies in the program and get it to find something, that's simple. The problem is getting it to find the type of sequences I want.
-I just downloaded Cube Explorer, it's very nice. But, I'm having about the same problem as ACube. I set up the cube (or put in the moves) and get it to find a solution. The solutions it gives are almost completely half-turns though.
I like Cube Explorer the most so if anyone can, please tell me how to use it.
