CubicDB 2.1.3 is here

[isaacvr]

It's a pleasure to announce that the version 2.1.3 of CubicDB was just released.
1. Added the Clock to the 3D simulator.
2. Added the Clock to the Reconstruction section.
3. Added hundreds of reconstructions.
4. Added a configurable seed to sync scrambles.
5. Image generation was improved.
6. 3D puzzle interaction was improved.
7. The visualization mechanism for reconstructions was enhanced.
8. There is a better visualization for the summary of the GAN iCarry reconstructions.
9. Now the reconstructions can be updated without having to update the whole app.

how can I import from cstimer

how can I import from cstimer

there's a button for that, quite literally

Sorry for double post, but how do you make more sessions

There is an Import / Export section were you can do it. Right now you can import your solves from CSTimer, Twisty Timer (and mods), CubeDesk and CubicDB itself.

Maybe it's not that clear since those are primarily from the Timer section, but I'll add another one to clarify this post a little more.


Thanks.

Sorry for double post, but how do you make more sessions

There is a little button on the Timer section, that allows you to manage your sessions. You can either have:

1- Mixed sessions. Here you can select the scrambler and add solves from NxN, Megaminx, Skewb, all in one session.
2- Single sessions. Here you select the scrambler only once (while creating the session).
3- Multi-steps sessions. Here you can select the scramble once (like single sessions) but you can configure the steps of resolution for this particular session. For instance if you do CFOP on 3x3, you can add four steps (Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL) and use the Space key to record the time for each step. Then in the statistics tab, you'll see a summary with the average time for each step and the same information in percentages.



The second image is with fake data, just to show it here.

This is spectacular - thinking of switching from cubedesk. The square box with xcorss/solver/etc isn't working right (gets cut off after about 2o pixels).

Impressive work.

Outstanding web version!

If you are taking tips for improvement, here is mine: add (applicable) solvers to the puzzles in the Puzzle Simulator section.

I would love to see optimal 3x3x3 solver (the only one being both fast and working online I am aware of is here) being able to be used e.g. in the Reconstructions or Puzzle Simulator sections. Speedcubers might like method-specific solvers, for beginners any solver might do the job.

A feature of a solver could be to solve a puzzle state defined by the user (i.e. allow user to define stickers on the puzzle).

For a Rubik´s Clock, in the angle I am using while solving it is very hard to distinguish between pins being down and up. Perharps a color indication of pins would be better.

Not an issue at all, but in desktop web version, gear wheels on Clock are only visible from the black side being front.

I'm switching. However is downloading Telegram necessary for the desktop version?

A 3x3x3 solver can be found in the Timer and Tools sections.

Works for me (web version on cell phone). Cross & Xcross solver gets loaded after a short time.

No, you can just go to the download page listed (https://t.me/cubicdb/572) and then click the download button on the top right on the page. For me it says download for mac (since I'm using a macbook) but it will say download for windows if you are using windows.



EDIT: I made a mistake, turns out the download button was to download telegram, not the timer app. It seems like you do need telegram to install the app.

No my friend, but I added a new download link from GitHub. If you go there you will see a list of assets at the end. The installer is the .exe.

I edited the post to include another download link from GitHub. Please check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the good impressions from the page. As you could see, there are some solvers through the page, but I can add another one to the Simulator. The other approach is to improve the solver inside the Tools section, because is too basic and is not very mobile-friendly.

If there is another suggestions to add or improve, you can add it to the GitHub repo as an Issue. Thanks bro.

goob job!!



I want to make a correction:

corner pll images are missing

Thanks for the feedback.

Small bump but for the next update can you add more customization for the time such as a custom background and being able to use milliseconds?

Thanks for the feedback. Next update will be quite complicated since there will be a complete redesign of the app to improve user experience and remodel things into a more performant way. After that, there will be some updates to specifically handle customization. Let me point at some things that are relevant at least for me:

1. I'm quite interested about making the app as customizable as possible because as a developer that's a good challenge.
2. There are some examples of custom themes for other timers like CSTimer that are awful and that's not on the CST team but on the users that doesn't have any design insights, therefore they do their best. For CubicDB there will be another approach that can bring a good result almost always. I've been thinking about it but that will be decided later after some tests.
3. About the milliseconds, I don't see any particular use of that. Is there a good reason to include it? I'm asking from ignorance here.

I like my results to be as accurate a possible so I can see each little improvement on a small scale, especially for shorter events such as 2x2 and pyra.
Also not having milliseconds just ticks me off for some reason idk why.
