Multiplayer 15 puzzle sim

Does anyone use two hands? I use one hand and have about 5.5 tps

I use two hands and average 9 TPS.

I would imagine it being somewhat difficult to coordinate the two hands

It's not too hard with practice. Ben and I use two hands (Ben uses ijkf and I use sdkl).

Yep, same. I use ijkf, and it only took me about 2 days to get completely used to it after previously using arrow keys.

So for people who used one hand, try it with two, it is not that different.

v14.0 download

Added animations
Scroll bars aren't unnecessarily long when zooming in
Big puzzles are even faster
Ctrl+C copies scramble to clipboard
Ctrl+Z to retry the previous scramble
5 digit numbers fit better (idk why this would be useful but whatever)
Mouse controls

I use IJKL because I'm used to doing OH and using letters means my English teacher thinks I'm typing (even though it's at 9-10 TPS).

I would imagine it being somewhat difficult to coordinate the two hands, for me, at least. My one hand TPS is about 7, but I think I'll be able to achieve a lot more if I practice.

ben uses 2 hands and he has had over 15 tps

How does IJKL work? I can't figure out the finger placement for 2H, and using arrow keys do cause trouble if in class.

It's for OH. Just have the other hand on the keyboard, hit random keys occasionally, and don't look like you're concentrating too much, and it's believable.

Haha, it doesn't work for me, if I start 15 puzzling in class it seems like I'm typing at 200 WPM, so I can't really do it when there are not much people in the class

Well, it's all about timing. Just wait for when there's a lot of talking/other noise, and try not to move your hands too much A quiet keyboard also helps. But my teacher has seen my copy a very long slide at ~90 WPM before, so she knows I can type quickly. Although I definitely 15 puzzle faster than I can type.

you should write a book about it

"how to do 15 puzzle in class without teacher noticing"

 

[Owen]

Two hands? Well that explains how fast Ben is. I use the arrow keys one handed and get 10-11 tps.

 

[Kirjava]

Yeah, I use arrow keys. Maybe I should switch to EDGY for ULDR.

What is a good layout for 2H then? Also, 7-8 TPS is about my typing speed (100 WPM).

 

[qqwref]

so edgy

PS: blokpoi uses TUNE (because colemak)

I use Dvorak, so...good 2H controls?

v15.0

Saves a list of how many times you have solved each 8 puzzle scramble
Fixed bug where you could still do moves with the mouse when a replay is playing
Fixed bug where session average would show as "Session average (n solves): *times* = average = average"
Fixed bug where >999 movecount averages wouldnt save to 3dp

Isn't there over 180k permutations?

 

[qqwref]

Yeah, so even with a pretty inefficient encoding it's still well under a megabyte (much less than the Qt DLLs). Of course for any bigger puzzle this would be quite impractical.

Keep in mind that ben's the one actually updating the program, I just post the updates for him The 8puzl table was my idea but he coded it.

v16.0
Mouse controls are used by hovering the cursor over a tile instead of clicking
Holding ctrl and moving the mouse won't do moves
3 puzzle is faster (lol)
Infinity tps pbs load properly (lol)
Linux version

Windows: client
Linux: client | server | SO files

for linux, extract stuff and put it all in a folder (maybe, idk if it even works).
