csTimer released

[yoinneroid]

Does stackmat actually work for people? I haven't been able to get that to work in who knows how long.

I figured it wasn't working on my latest Macbook because it has no audio input jack, but I just tried it on a 2010 MacBook Pro with the input and cstimer still wouldn't recognize anything.

edit: also using Chrome.

I've been able to use the stackmat input since I started using cstimer however long ago. However it stopped working this week since csTimer doesn't use https.

Chen Shuang actually gave an alternative link that does use htpps, since his cstimer.net somehow doesn't support htpps. https://cstimer.sinaapp.com/timer.php

It seems that my PaaS does not support SSL for customized domains. As an alternative, the HTTPS version can be accessed via https://cstimer.sinaapp.com/timer.php

I really love this timer and have been using it as my main timer for a while now.
I do have four suggestions that would be amazing if you could implement.
The first is a "draw scramble" feature for other WCA puzzles besides for 2x2-7x7.
Namely pyraminx, and skewb, but also the others with time.
Another suggestion is to have the timer save the day and time the solve happened
This suggestion is really tiny, but maybe, next to where you can comment about the solve, you can have a box to add which cube you used, then you can average each cube to see how well you perform on each.
My last suggestion (and the one I want most) is the implementation of a graph that show your solves over time.
if anyone likes any of these ideas please repeat them so they can hopefully be implemented.
Thanks!

really like the "draw scramble", date/time, and graph suggestions too. The comment stuff is kinda eh for me

I agree with all your suggestions :tu

My StackMat Pro Timer works with Microsoft Edge, but it does not work with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I notice that Microsoft Edge prompts me for microphone access, but the other two browsers do not prompt.

try that for google chrome

Would it be possible to be able to configure the colour of the scamble view ? I have my own custom colour scheme and would like to see those colours when scrambling.

 

[mafergut]

I vote for the "draw scramble" function for other puzzles like skewb, pyra, SQ-1, Mega... The colour scheme configuration, even though I don't really need it would be a plus for many people, including Chris Olson (oh that pink!).

Hey

I would really like to see different time distribution options (different scaling) for the different sessions!
Is that possible?

This!

Cstimer occasionally ends up not loading (for me atm, it's loading very slowly). The problem here is most likely that your host for jquery can be slow: http://lib.sinaapp.com/. I suggest switching to https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js or their own site: https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.min.js.

This will make cstimer overall more reliable and most likely jquery will already be cached as these will be the most frequently used jquery sources thus making cstimer faster overall.

I've just move cstimer to a new server with SSL support, any insecure access (http) to cstimer.net or www.cstimer.net will be redirected to https://cstimer.net

Besides that, I've just add "draw scramble" function for pyraminx and skewb.

Wonderful news!!! I am starting to learn pyra and skewb this month so it is a very welcome improvement. Now I only have to export my session to import it on the secure site and I will be ready to rumble!!! Thanks a lot.

By the way, in order to support drawing scrambles for skewb and pyra, have you changed the code that draws cubic puzzles as well? I see some difference in the way 2x2, 3x3, etc. scrambles look now.

EDIT: Just one comment. Now, when I am in WCA - Pyraminx scramble type and select "input" and paste a Pyraminx scramble (like, e.g.: U L U' L' U B' U B b), the draw scramble tool changes to 5x5 scramble.

Thank you! That makes my life so much easier.
Do you have any plans on implementing the graph?

I just had a very frustrating error, and I have no clue what happened. I was solving and timing myself with cstimer. I then accidently dragged the browser tab, to create its own window. I had a bunch of other tabs open, so I closed the cstimer window and went to open it back up on the main window. When it loaded everything was gone. It was as if I had went to cstimer for the first time ever. I had made a backup to the server which I was able to restore, but I still lost thousands of solves.

I am not sure if you know the cause of this, but it is a serious bug that needs to be fixed.

Happened to me as well, looks like the website got updated and all caches/cookies were cleared. If you want to keep big amounts of data I would recommend you don't keep them on a website, download the information and port it somewhere you can keep on a hard drive.

I think it's because that I force redirect www.cstimer.net to cstimer.net, while all of your times and statistics information are still in www.cstimer.net
you may return to www.cstimer.net by: http://www.cstimer.net/?noredirect

 

[asacuber]

I only have two problems:
My QJ timer v3 does not connect (I use Chrome)
Please stop rounding off times eg: 2.899 in milliseconds
And 2.90 without milliseconds

Edit: fixed!Thanks(1st problem)

csTimer just reset on me! I recovered most of my solves from a previous file, but a still lost quite a bit.
I think I pressed alt+-> before, to generate new scrambles, but then it reset.
Is it still possible to recover my times?

That question was answered above

I've just added a "trend function". Here's a snapshot.

Spoiler

Is this the graph you mentioned?


BTW, it's just a demo of the trend function. I'll do more work on it, e.g. better ui, more configurable options, etc.
