App Development

[jranthony98]

I am currently developing an all around solving algorithmic app. I find that there is no single app with all know algorithms, and all methods easily accessible. I was wondering if anyone would like to contribute possible app names, art, and other ideas.

Sounds like a pretty good idea. What needs to be done?

 

[jranthony98]

It would be great if you could start a complilation of all know algorithms and possibly with pictures rather than written explaining

 

[DTCuber]

Sounds great! What do you need?

I can create a list of methods with explanations.

Possible app name: "Algorithm Almanac"

For 2x2: An Ortega Method List and Solve Layer by Layer List

3x3: Rubiks Method, Beginners Method, CFOP, Tony Fisher Method, Etc

4x4: MoYu Method, Alchemist Matt Method, Parities

nxn Parities

I could help with the design of the app/graphics. I will be earning my Adobe Illustrator certification within the next few weeks and this would be an awesome way for me to give back to the community

I am not quite sure what you mean by "Moyu Method."

I am not quite sure what you mean by "Moyu Method."

By Moyu MEthod I mean solving the outside corners and edges before solving the center. When you order a cube, the sheet inside has those methods

Awesome! The App Will be called "Algorithm Almanac." I like the colors red, yellow, and white. I need you to reasearch app skin sizes for Android Devices.

For 2x2, definitely include CLL, EG1 and EG2. You might also get some of the less used methods on Chris Olson's website (credit him of course).

There are 2 BIG algorithm databases that we could get a good amout of algs from. Some are in other threads and stuff so I'll start grouping with CSV/JSON/XML or just an HTML table (Spreadsheet?). We could also get a search bar to narrow down the algs to a specific group or one alg.

I plan on first developing a stand alone app, no user information or anything. Later I plan to secure a domain, and start a network database user system

You might want to contact the developer of http://algdb.net/. There's no need to re-invent the wheel

I have done research, and have seen algdb.net, but its flawed in some places, and currently doesn't have an accessible app

 

[Goosly]

The main issue for your app is not writing the app itself, but getting something useful to display, and a lot of it. Algdb already has a lot of data. You could use the same data instead of creating yet another database.

Hey. I'm the AlgDb guy.

I'm currently revamping the entirety of AlgDb and we'll have a mobile-accessible version out in the coming months.

 

[jranthony98]

I really like the algdb.net but I find that It lacks 4x4, 5x5, and nxn algorithms and parities

I would also like to have a centralized app. If a person wants to start solving, they go to it. If they want to get faster, they go to it. IF they are confused by notation, they go to it. If they want to know WCA rules and standard color scheme, they go to it. IF they want to solve their nxn cubes they go to it. algdb.net is very confusing for a beginner non-cuber.

 

[StachuK1992]

I agree. All of these points are being addressed.

 

[jranthony98]

Im not attacking any databases outthere. I just have my own ideas

 

[SFCuber]

So are we going to keep the project up or just use AlgDb?
