Prisma Puzzle Timer

[MWilson]

You have 3 solutions:
1) take the <R, U> scrambler and just treat R as M (in your mind).
2) Modify the source code to add another scrambler (just copy the R U one and turn it into M U one)
3) Modify the R U one into a M U one completely which should be easier than adding another one.

I ended up realizing that with the added M support for importing scrambles I can just generate a ton from another source and import them.

There's another thing that I forgot to mention. Right now the puzzle doesn't change its color orientation when you do x, y, or z. So it keeps the orientation. So, for example, F U and R mean the same rotation on the cube before and after making an x, y, or z move so (and of course this is just wrong):

F U R x == x F U R.

The work-around is to make sure that all your x,y,z stuff comes at the end of the scramble. And I don't deal with x or z correctly.

Right now the scrambler code keeps track of the positions of the corners and edges but not the centers. To make the x,y,z work correctly, I need to also keep track of where the centers are. This doesn't seem like such a hard thing to do, a couple of hours of coding maybe. I don't need it, but is anyone else interested?

Also, I thought I should share the code I've got, of course it would be more efficient to simply start over from scratch:

Carl, I'm likely going to include your additions of M E S r l u d f b x y z, but with options to turn them off as not everyone likes that. I hadn't even thought of those. I do suppose it makes sense to include them. It won't likely go in until next week due to school. I'll have a lot of free time on my hands when I get home next week.

edit: I'm also wondering if I should make a new thread for my fork due to it seeming like walter hasn't been around for a while.

Does anyone know any software that works with the stackmat pro timer?

 

[Snoutmol]

The Mac OSX link doesn't work.

I've been messing around a bit with trying to figure out why my QJ v3 timer won't work in PPT.

So far I've found that the problem comes when trying to open the targetDataLine in MainFrame.

It throws a "LineUnavailableException: line with format PCM_SIGNED 8000.0 Hz, 8 bit, mono, 1 bytes/frame, not supported", which seems kind of strange to me, since the listed devices should be exactly those supporting that format.

Do you have a workaround?

Nothing currently, no, sadly.

What all timers have been known to work with Prisma?

I know the Stackmat Gen 2, then others?

Some people have got the PRO to work with prisma too.

I heard you can time splits with this. Is this true?

Yes, you can time cross, OLL and PLL separately.

You should change your sig to "TheNextMaskow (BLD)" haha

Cool I am getting this for sure. NextMarcell. Maskow is good at multi but I just rather do single solves.

you time them completely separately, not like this. unless something new got added that I havent seen yet.

Just now I realized clicking on each individual move of a scramble changes the preview of the cube such that it shows how it looks like after scrambled up to the move selected. It's truly an amazing timer!

I downloaded this and can't get the timer to start, lol i push space and nothing happens.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

This is free right?

First of all check in the option if the timer trigger is the space bar and not something else.
If it is, then this also happens to me sometimes, it will definitely fix itself if you restart your computer. If you don't want to do that I you can close the program and start it at a later time. I don't know why it happens but it just sometimes happens and it fixes itself if I wait some time and then open the program again after a while. It hasn't happened to me in a long time though.

This is free right?

Yes, it's free and open-source. Of-course it's free, there isn't even a website or anything, just the download link to the jar file.

It still isn't working.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Launch the java file and then don't click/do anything else while its loading. It used to happen to me where if It loses focus while loading, the timer start doesn't work. idk why/
