AlgDb.NET

I think you should show a top view of the cube with arrows for PLL because not everyone knows 2 side PLL recognition and/or which PLL is which. It would help new people learn.
 
OLL 43 alg; The 3rd algo needs a U in front of it to match the orientation of the cube pictured
 
I don't think that AUF's should be counted as part of an algorithm because any LL alg may or may not have to AUF. It would be misleading to make some have higher move counts because of that. I also do think there needs to be some indication of the angle the alg should be applied, so in a column before the algorithms there should be an AUF box for each algorithm that tells the needed AUF or rotation.

^This.
Integrating rotations before the alg to match the picture (a la wiki) is imo the best option.
 
Push 2.3 done!


-Bug fix: Algs can now have U'2 and L2' moves
-On a user page, we now show what algs a user uses in addition to the algs they upload
-URLs are much cleaner. For example, looking at the algs for the T-PLL case would previously be something like /Algs/Case/22, while now it's /Set/PLL/T.
-No more page-reloads when approving/denying algs (Admins)

Always be sure to check the Release Notes and CurrentIssues!

Rotations and AUFs are an issue for another day; I realize that it causes some confusion, but I gotta prioritize!


Let me know which alg set you want next; it does take a significant amount of time to add an alg set still, but we gotta keep growing!

I am currently going through the algorithms I use and uploading new ones with U2', R2', etc. So if you think you see a duplicate uploaded by me, please double check, as I was probably adding the U2' and R2'.
 
I think you should make an alg added to an alg for one subset be added to the same case for another. An example would be anytime the algorithms are changed for the U perm in PLL, they'd also automatically be changed in ELL. This is just part of the advanced search/add algs system you were talking about doing and I think it would be a good build up to it.

As for what to add next, I think there should be a section for orienting the edges while disregarding the corners and again, I think it should have its algorithms automatically changed anytime someone adds a algorithm to an actuall OLL case that solves that EO case. After LL EO algs are finished I think COLL/CMLL would be good options.

This is what BOCA has. This is the 2GLL-T page, and this is the ZBLL-T page. If you click on the first case on both pages, they both go to the same page - they have one page for each case. But there's a problem with this: the URLs on AlgDB.net have which set they're in in them, so we'd have to change the URLs to something different.
 
Why did my algorithm R' U' R x' z' R U' R' F R U R' x for OLL 9 got denied?

Sure, it basically the same algorithm as R' U' R y r U' r' U r U r', but execution is done from a complete different angle.

This can be fixed on the redirect page. For instance, this page and this page should be together on one page, with the title reading:
PLL - Ua
(also, ELL - Ua-PLL)
 
Anyone else having problems getting onto the website?
I am! Forgot to pay for hosting after my hosting trial expired. Paid now, should be back up soon. (all of my sites are down :S)FYI - I will be opening this up to other developers shortly. I know AVG and one other person were interested in helping. Any other .NET stack developers here?
 
Right now, AlgDb is sort of both on my back-burner and my first thought as far as cube-developing goes.

I'm currently working on 2 mobile apps. One is a mobile version of AlgDb, and the other is a timer that will run on W8, WP8, iOS, Android, Tizen, web, etc. It will run and look smooth on everything.

The way the AlgDb mobile app is being done, it will be very easy to reconstruct my web approach.
That being said, there's a lot of exciting stuff I'm working on, but I'm a 1-man team with a full-time job and a fiancee!

If anyone wants to help and is interested in playing with Visual Studio some, let me know.
 
I've been trying to spread the message about this site as much as I can still, and sorting out cases and such. I'm happy to help with everything VisualCube and I have hella time to help right now :P

Also a suggestion or two.

Order memberlist by alphabetical order, or whether they are an admin or not.

Secondly, let admins edit algs manually. Mainly for removal or addition of rotations. And on that note, have a specific angle column prior to the alg, so I presume the VisualCube image will be the standard angle, then have the list of algs, and in a column to the left of the alg, specify the angle, so like y, y' or y2, and allow the person to choose which algs are shown based on angle.
