AlgDb.NET

[StachuK1992]

My thought is this:

Eventually, I will let you input with ()[], etc.
However, I will strip all of these out in the database.

On the front end, though, users will have the option (as a per-user setting) to automatically view algs with paren() around common move groups

So you'd input an alg like:
(F R U' R' U' R U R' F') (R U R' U' R' F R F')

This would be stripped to be in the database as:
F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R F'

If a certain option were selected, you would see the alg like this:
F R U' R' U' (R U R') F' (R U R' U' R') F R F'
or something similar.

Unfortunately, things like (M' U)3 don't seem feasible, at least for the near future.


I appreciate the response!
OH-specific algs will be addressed specifically; I'm still deciding upon the best method for this.

At first, the following will be the way to deal with finding OH algs:
I will have a move group filter. For instance, I will go to an OLL case and tell the system to look for algs with only R, U, and r moves.

This site is awesome! However, it seems to have some issues with passwords. I tried to create an account with the password "GSH^F^U=HuFZh`o%\o<Z8e" and it thought I was injecting code into the server. Could you take a look at this?
Thanks!

 

[StachuK1992]

Why would you try to make that your password? :S

Nonetheless, I'll look into crazy password stuff.

Thanks for your fast response. That does sound like a very smart way to deal with parentheses.

I'm worried about your proposed system for OH though. Many OH algs that have, for example, F moves are still arguably the best algs for a case. (Looking at COLLs specifically.) I think it would be best to either make an entirely new section for "OH OLLs" or to have an option inside the "OLL" section to tick a box that shows algorithms that have been designated for OH.

Another question, haha. When I'm inputting algs that look at a case from a different angle, should I be putting a rotation in front of the alg or just pretend that it doesn't need one?

Well, I guess that does seem pretty strange. I use LastPass to manage my passwords, so each site has a unique, long, and random password and I don't have to remember them.

I agree, just want to make sure I still agree after further consideration.

For now, don't worry about the rotation; eventually the mods/admins administering the approval of algs will be able to fix the rotations as they moderate!

Neat. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the response guys!

I use the OLL (M' U)3 (M' U') (M' U)3. (Faster than it seems at first )Now this looks a lot more complicated and confusing when broken down into M' U M' U M' U M' U' M' U M' U M' U.

That doesn't seem an OLL to me.

 

[Ranzha]

Submitting algs! =)

Image for Sune is broken lol, last move in the visualcube URL says R instead of R'.

 

[Jakube]

Nice project.

Instead of the "Algs That USER Uploaded"-lists (which is pretty much useless), I want to have "Algs that USER uses"-lists. So I can see a collection of all PLLs, OLLs, ... a person uses.

 

[StachuK1992]

Wow. Woke up to go onto the site and see that there are 100 algs pending approval! Thanks for the algs, guys!
Maybe the other mods will get to them first, otherwise expect approval to happen once a day.

Jakube, that totally makes sense. Next release.

I'll look into Sune, thanks.

Oh-oh, what am I doing in the top right corner there?

Ha! qqTimer Chrome Extension - some of us still use it. No worries, nothing too creepy

Note to mods - deleting algs doesn't work right now; have to make some minor changes tonight.

 

[RCTACameron]

Would it be possible to have the pages for a set (eg. http://algdb.net/Set/PLL) display the most popular algorithm for each case next to the picture?

Something like this I mean:

I think this would just make it a convenient way to quickly look at all the PLLs without clicking on each case individually. Great site btw. :tu

When will more sub-sets be added? Which one will be next? CLL for 2x2 or something. Will move count be added soon? In the various turn metric. And filtering the case lists so you want algs with >12 HTM. Or 2 gen algs, weather it is R , U or M, U gen.

I remember Stachu saying a while ago that he may add other puzzles eventually, but 3x3 would be priority and anything else would be a long way in the future. Also, move count is available. Just click on an individual algorithm for a case and it will give you the move count in various metrics.

 

[TDM]

I don't know whether it's because I added more than three algs for one case or if it's from adding too many for others as well, but either way this probably shouldn't be appearing.
EDIT: I've just tried adding another alg for the other U perm and the same thing's happened.
EDIT2: When I went back to the PLL page I found I'd been logged off. I logged on again, tried a V perm and it worked. I didn't log off, but for some reason I was logged off.

 

[StachuK1992]

Other sets will be added very shortly (within the coming days.)
I plan to add CLL,ELL, CLS, ELS, F2L, 2GLL, ZBLL, ZBLS, etc all quite soon.


Other nxn puzzles will have to wait for about a month.
Other puzzles likely 3 months, after some significant changes.




TDM: Thanks for the screenshot and the notes.
We are experiencing a multitude of logout issues where the system logs you out when you dont try to. I get this a LOT.
All of your issues above are relevant to the logout issue.

Why not CLL?

 

[StachuK1992]

Your response makes no sense in that context. That is an incomplete list that includes CLL anyway.

That doesn't seem an OLL to me.

it needs one more M' (4 corners, 0 edges solved)
