Prisma Puzzle Timer

Firstly, I was not writing an angry message or harshly worded at all, I was merely wondering why the reason he stopped working on it was. Obviously he is under no obligation to work on it, I was just asking the question. I am fully aware that this is open source and on bitbucket also, but my knowledge of code is approximately zero otherwise I most certainly would continue myself.

I didn't find your message harsh at all. Background: at any given moment there are 10+ projects I'm working on, and I'm constantly abandoning some and replacing them with others. Discontinuing development is such a normal occurrence that if someone from across the world had me tracked down to ask why...I'd be baffled.

I realize I was projecting my experience onto Walter, which I shouldn't have. Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised if Walter's situation was similar.

Side note: if you can learn to cube, you can learn to code...whether you consider that worth your time is a completely different story =) I'm not willing to learn right now, so I have to be content with the rate of progress on Prisma.
 
Sorry for the bump.
When I attempt to download this, I get this:

If I click OK, I get two links. Both of them have something about paying ~$25, which I'm not paying for a timer. Is there a free way to be able to open .jar files, preferably permanently (i.e. not the 30-day trial on the first link)?
 
Is there a way to edit the scrambles for the OLL's in the "OLL trainer?" I don't know all of them yet but want to use it to help me learn them as I go. Can I limit it somewhere to only use the ones I know and add them in as I learn them?
 
Don't click anything until the program completely loads. Happens to me sometimes if I give another program focus while the timer is loading it don't pick up any keystrokes and so you have to close and reopen the timer
 
Got my timer back, so downloaded this (0.6).

I had the right plugs from when I used this a year or two ago. When I plug it in I get a really loud and annoying BR BR BR BR. But Prisma just gives me "error: couldn't select stackmat timer using space key instead". I get the loud annoying sound which means my computer is getting input? I have two Mic jacks, one is pink, which is the standard colour I think, and the other is part of my inbuilt speakers and is light blue. I feel the pink would be better (because it's definitely a mic jack, mic picture and pink colour) but I can only get the sound to happen when it's plugged into the blue, weird looking jack.

So basically, unsure whether the blue jack would work at all and maybe the sound is just something else, if so, how do I set up the pink jack? I've searched for about 15 minutes and this is frustrating.
 
It would be AWESOME if you could sync your times, etc. to a cloud thingy, so you can have your times anywhere you have internet! Also different profiles would be epic!
 
I like the Prisma layout better, it just feels more... good for me i guess

or for the saving solves, maybe make it create some databases or something so we can view our solves even after we close the program
 
this might have already been asked( too lazy to go through all 90 pages:p) but does prisma not work for mac anymore? at least for mavericks? if not is there another timer i can download for mac? Thanks!!!
 
Is it possible to save sessions? That is something I'd like... Also, maybe an option to move stuff around, and layout options...

All tines are saved. If you press Crlt-alt-h you get all the times you have in your prismsa. Or Crlt-alt-s Crlt-a Crlt-c opens word document Crlt-v. In other words open session summary and copy paste.
 
Wow thanks dude! How'd you find about the ctrl-alt s/c/v?

Also, can you make it so that you can show more times? (Make the times box bigger, change layout, etc.)

And how do you make a new session?
