Can we make an advanced Ivy cube method?

I’m a genius!!! I finished the custom definition for the ivy cube. I did
R: (URH-1) (U H R)
L: (ULG-1) (U L G)
F: (DLR-1) (L R D)
B: (DHG-1) (H G D)
The centers are denoted such that if you have a center on top with the point of the leaf facing you, then the top center is U, the center on the right side that’s visible is R, the right center that’s not visible is H, and the same thing for L and G. D is the center on the bottom. I’ll try to do the NS equivalent for Ivy Cube today or tomorrow if I get stuck. It’d also be helpful if someone could calculate the amount of algs I should get for the NS equivalent (btw one-look is 29,159 cases excluding pure skip).

Well, lets not do one look then. 😅

Yeah, I was generating the NS version, and it was ~550 algs iirc, but then my phone refreshed the page and I lost everything. I’ll see if I can get the algs done without that happening. Also it’s showing skewb images with the algs of the alg but on a skewb so beware, but I don’t think I can change that, so there won’t be proper Ivy Cube images with the algs.

NS is where one side is solved, right? (I know nothing, lol.)
 
I generated all of the algs. It’s 539 cases if I did it right. But I can’t get it to download… Also I was wondering if I there’s any other methods you’d like to try, like solving centers, and then corners in one alg?

NS on skewb is like less than 150 algs iirc. How are you getting 500+ for ivy cube?

Hmm, that's a lot. let's try the one that you just mentioned. Thanks!

It’s not, it’s roughly 24 times smaller than this, because of rotational symmetry. You do not need to learn 29k algs for OO Ivy cube, you only need ~1.2k.

Oh, okay. That makes sense. I never really account for rotational symmetry when using batch solver. I didn’t even define rotations for Ivy Cube (I could have you think that’d be useful).

Actually, I think I did do the scramble correctly, I think the numbers might have to do with rotational symmetry. If you ignore rotational symmetry, then NS should have 450(?) cases. Also skewb has only 7 possible corner orientations for NS, while Ivy Cube should have 9. I’m not sure though.

Edit: Here’s the math behind 540 combinations for Ivy Cube NS
It has 9 possible corner orientations, and 5 centers can be permuted 5!=120 ways, but /2=60 because of even parity. 9*60=540
