Updates and Happenings - January, 2010
Below are updates from the last several weeks:
The Wiki
I've implemented a reCAPTCHA system on the wiki. I've also enabled editing to be done by guests (non-logged in users). If you have something of value to add, please feel free to create or modify the existing pages that are there. Additionally, the Speedsolving Wiki has been upgraded to 1.15.1.
Software Forum
By request, a new software forum has been added to Speedsolving.com. This is the place to discuss software related to puzzles, such as simulators, solvers, and timers.
VisualCube - Dynamic Cube Images
Conrad Rider (user 'Cride5') has built very nice Dynamic Cube Image generator, which you can find more details about here. He has allowed Speedsolving.com host a copy of it and has also built a nice integration for the Speedsolving Wiki, which you can find here. It will not only generate various images of the algorithms specified, but will also verify that the algorithm inputted belongs to the group that's selected. You can expect this to implemented into the wiki more over the next several months. If you'd like to use it on the forum, simple use the "cube" tags, using the parameters found at the bottom of this page. For example:
[noparse][/noparse]
Will return this:
Speedsolving.com Interviews
Several more interviews have been added to the Interview page. Every few weeks we interview a Speedsolving.com - mostly people who have been requested. You can make requests for who you want to see interviewed here.
