Introducing qqTimer!

[StachuK1992]

The problem with a LL scrambler, is that you have to have a list of algorithms to look up to scramble, as you can't randomly generate an algorithm to scramble the LL only. I'm pretty sure michael already decided against this.

Yes. Half of qqtimer's coolness is in fact the size of the program, and while a LL scramble list isn't *that* big, it still would make the timer longer to load.
Plus, there are already pretty nice LL scramblers out there.

I really like the "get last scramble" thing! I've been mad at CCT for losing all my good scrambles!

 

[masterofthebass]

cct never loses your good scrambles... Just hit the down arrow next to the scramble #. I still have good scrambles from every solve I've ever saved in a session.

Just a slightly off base question, but what does standard deviation mean?

From http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/standarddeviation.asp :

"A measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread apart the data, the higher the deviation."

So the more consistent your average, the lower the S.D.

its so good i had a... qqgasm

 

[qqwref]

The `/~ key and the =/+ key. How does that work for you?

Actually those are... right next to each other XD

I was considering something like a LL scrambler, but obviously putting in each case would be way too much. I'm not going to try something like that unless I can think of a more efficient way to do it (perhaps there's some way to do a near-optimal solve without huge pruning tables?).

Hmm... I've been looking for one for ages. Show me

This is AWESOME!!!

 

[MatsBergsten]

Nice! I like it!

 

[SimonWestlund]

Love it Michael!
Good job!

How about an option for the timer to only update in seconds (without decimal places). It is not computation intensive but friendlier than the "update off" button. Of course the final results would be to 1/100 or 1/1000, as usual.

How about applying the "(" and ")" around the best and worst times when you highlight the best avg5 or best avg12? Then I would not need to do that myself when I cut and paste for Jon's Sunday Contest.

After highlighting for avg5 or avg12, should there be an easy way to turn off the highlighting? Currently, doing a bogus solve and deleting it will work, but is awkward. Maybe the avg5 or avg12 can be toggle switches, so if you do it again then highlighting gets turned off?

 

[dbax0999]

A feature that shows you your current average of 5 and 12 would be nice.

 

[Tortin]

The timer is pretty awesome. But, do you think you could do something like cubetimer does and save the times? Oh, and also, current and best mean of 3 would be nice as well.

 

[qqwref]

Seriously, Tortin, stop using mean of 3 outside of competition XD I might make it an option but it definitely won't be in by default since mean of 3 is silly.

I'll put in current avg5/12 and SD's tomorrow, as well as un-highlighting.

How do you download it on your computer????

Update:
- qqTimer can now be found (in addition to the current location) at mzrg.com/qqTimer. (mzrg.com/qqtimer works too.)
- Current averages are posted, and now all averages have standard deviation.
- You can click on something again after it has been highlighted to remove the highlight.
- Highlighted averages will have parentheses around the best and worst results.
- Mean of 3 can be turned on/off.
- The WCA inspection option now shows the inspection counting down in whole seconds from 15 to 1, then +2, then DNF. The inspection itself is always in red (whereas the timer itself is black) so it's easy to tell the difference.
- The timer itself is a bit taller.
- Added scrambles for 3x3x4 and Super Floppy Cube.

Wow...impressive. May I ask what server technologies you used?

Haha, I don't even know what you mean

It ia javascript, that means the timer runs entirely on the clientside, ie your own computer The server is only used to get the code to run into your browser.
