pll_trainer: helps you practice PLL's

[shicklegroober]

Has anyone found a way to convert the .exe file to make it useable with Mac????

van: Well, as there are so many algorithms for each case it might be a better idea to go out and look for your ideal algorithm for each case.

Hello,

I'm cubing for a few months now and I know full pll. When I was reading about the pll-trainer I thought I have to try it. But I don't really understand how this program works, or how you can train with it.
When you click start you don't know which algorithm comes. Do you then create the case while the wait time? Or do you prepare 21 cubes with each case? ^^
Should I disable all pll's and practice only one case, which I enable?

Probably this are stupid questions. I've read the whole thread but my english is not the best (sorry for that) and maybe I haven't really understood it.

 

[zottey]

no it counts down and then gives you a pll and at that split second you have to do that algorithm as fast as possible. your cube should start out solved. hope this helped :]

 

[badmephisto]

Why do you feel that you MUST have that case on the cube just to execute the algorithm? You can still perform the sequence as moves, as fast as you can, right?

There has been Sooo much confusion about this program in the past, its incredible!

thanks for the program, it works well

I was able to run it yesterday, and the pll01.gif is in the folder can any one help me out ?

Thats a bit of a wierd error if the pll01.gif is actually in the folder.. Maybe the program doesn't have file access permissions?

Hmm, how do I give the file "access permission"?

Right-click on the main executable and click on Properties. Click on the Security tab in the dialog that appears. Take a look and see if all the permissions are set appropriately.

I downloaded it and found the folder on my computer but dont see anything that opens the program... I really want to use it but cannot find the right thing. I see 21 picture files

 

[Thieflordz5]

Simple but should be pretty useful. I was wondering when you time a PLL, do you start with the cube in your hands?

Edit: I tried the program out. How the heck do you recognise the G's by the diagrams?

Well, I am familiar with this program, it was made by BadMaphisto...
You can also rotate the images (with picture editing) and save over them so you can get the permutations the right way (e.g. if you do your T with your left hand, open paint, and rotate the whole picture 180 degrees and save over it)

Do you normally have any problems with the G perms normally? You can also disable them if you don't want to do them

You can replace the images with the ones here: http://cube.garron.us/MGLS/PLL.htm

[Crystl]

Thank you very much for your program. Is it free to make it public to everyone (I'm member of Vietnam -Cubing Club and I intend to introduce this program)

 

[mystera]

That's cool! Can you try OLL Trainer or make one?

What? :confused:

I don't mean to hijack, but I wanted to offer an alternative to anyone who might be interested in one. My PLL drilling program works differently than this one. It gives you (seemingly) random scrambles that produce a particular PLL case. Your job is to run the scramble it gives you, without looking, then look down, see the PLL case, and solve it. Mine has no timer, as I was mostly interested in training my recognition skills, as opposed to raw execution.

The thread about my program is here.

I hope this will help someone.

How do you open it on windows after it's downloaded?

 

[Danny84]

I wish I could use this, but I have a mac… w/e
btw I know a nice alternative alg for the A-perms:

A1: y' R2 U S' U2 S U R2
A2: y' R2 U' S' U2 S U' R2
