As ImmolatedMarmoset said, we do expect you to use a real 15 puzzle. The weekly competition is intended to be a real puzzle competition, not a simulator competition, and it is likely that possible speeds on 15 puzzle would be much faster on a simulator than on a real puzzle. To be fair, this should definitely be done on a real puzzle only.For the 15 puzzle on the forum comp, can I use any app/software or do I have to use a real puzzle?
Also, for speed FMC, when do I stop the timer? After I write down my solution on paper or typing it in?

What exactly do you mean? The integrated timer is getting activated with any keyboard buttonHi Mike! Just one little thing: for blind people the site is really good, in my opinion, congratulations for that! One little thing: could you please make the online timer so that it could be activated with the keyboard, like pushing space or something like that? I've tested it but it's somewhat impossible to activate it for us. Could you also ad an audible signal when the timer starts and when it stops? These little changes could make the competition site more accessible also for us. Thanks for your help! Bye for now!

Anyone can put their results on the page, regardless of speed. You should definitely be good for that.Hi Mike! Thank you very much for your answer! I'll try to "see" the settings in the page you suggested! I'll let you know how it works in my experience. Thank you again! Bye for now!
Here I am Again: the timer is just great, really! I've been able to post my first five times; I'm not as good as other cubers; I'm just running for my sub 5 minutes objective; I'll try to go down, obviusly with my times but. This is a great result for mee; kthank you again for this page, Mike.
Just a quick question: could I post my results in the page despite the fact I've different objectives like, as said, the under 5 minutes one or? If this is not the case, I'll delete my records so someone else can post better times than mine.
Thanks again.
Bye for now
I have noticed this a couple of times as well, on this and previous scrambles. I will try to contact the scramble generator author about it.Curvy copter scramble 5 had the following sequence : UL+ RB+ UB UL- RB- UL+ RB+ UB UL- RB- which is doing nothing^^
Quick question: For 15 Puzzle, can you maybe give us the option to just view the scrambled puzzle (as a string of numbers and a - for the blank spot for example) instead of the scramble? Putting the tiles in the spots on the qiyi is WAYYYY faster then doing all these moves^^
This is a good idea, and I would like to implement it, but I probably can't get to it until I do the other alternate scrambles (such as curvy copter) as well. So this will go on the list of things to do. I'll try to put up a number of alternate scrambles for things when the time comes.Quick question: For 15 Puzzle, can you maybe give us the option to just view the scrambled puzzle (as a string of numbers and a - for the blank spot for example) instead of the scramble?

SiGN for big cubes! (I requested this quite a while ago; just a reminder~)I'll try to put up a number of alternate scrambles for things when the time comes.
