HARCS (JARCS Replacement) - Cube Solver

[Sosimomonon]

Sorry to bump an inactive thread, but I wrote a short guide for how to use the algsearch function and figured that I might as well post it here.

This is how to use HARCS algsearch:

Create a text file in your HARCS directory, name it anything you want, I'll call it "Torsten" during this guide. Put this inside Torsten: step 1 movegroup 1 prunedepth 1 searchdepth 1 epmask 0x0000f00ff0ff eomask 0xffffffffffff cpmask 0x0000f00f comask 0xf000f00f cnmask 0xfff step 2 movegroup <...

I tried to download HARCS by clicking on the link, but I got a 404 Not Found error. Is HARCS down or am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: Got it to work by downloading from another person

could you provide the download link or contact info?

Yeah, you do have the download?

Hopefully this works?
Wanted to get harcs on a new device and was sad to see that the link didn't work anymore, but luckily I still had it my old device and could upload it.

I am going to take a look. Prematurely, I am going to say good on you for making this.

Just downloaded it, to test my Roux skills.
Just a few issues. With Roux I can have only 1 orientation entered as style DR #
I can't change it. I need to quit and start again to solve on another FB color. Can live with that.

Tried to compile native under CygWin, just gets a black screen when running

To avoid reliance on a google drive I have uploaded a mirror here (the code is licensed under public domain). The engine is 6900 lines of C++ in one file rather unfortunately for anyone brave enough to change anything.

edit: the repo is online by the original author

Official site is here:

Github of the same: https://github.com/xmdi/old-harcs (no binaries aka releases)
And he is trying a new version here:

GitHub - xmdi/HARCS-C: faster, lighter method analysis toolkit

faster, lighter method analysis toolkit. Contribute to xmdi/HARCS-C development by creating an account on GitHub.

I forked both of them to be sure to keep them alive.

I didn't realize HARCS became unavailable. Thanks for the archaeology!

1) Could I interest you in contributing this to https://archive.cubing.net/ via https://github.com/cubing/archive.cubing.net ?
2) My checkout of github.com/mDiPalma/HARCS from March 2017 doesn't have a license. Do you know when/how it got attached?

Weird, I have no problem with style DCN #
fb then list me all the fb for x2/y

But that is just one style.
style DR DL #
does not work. And I can not change the style without restarting the program.

I am not the owner. And the license is pretty wide. Do whatever you want with it.

you should ask the original author. he seems to put everything in public domain but you should get confirmation.

(no binaries aka releases)

The new C rewrite is "only" 2000 lines in one file, however the code is pretty dense and not commented well.

Do you or any other computer programming-literate, long-standing mbrs of the cubing community have any way to contact Johannes.

Are any of the computer programming literate cubers able to revive JARCS from the site's webarchived code?

I've seen Stachu reproduce and duplicate Conrad's Visual Cube image generator for his own site. And, most recently, Gil Zussman's cloning and enhancement of the cubing.net resources for SpeedcubeDB.
Surely(hopefully), reviving JARCS must be also possible.

All later attempts at designing a program to replace JARCS have not been able to match it's capabilities.

be the change you wish to see in the world... create LEARCS

What was JARCS's functionality? I might* be able to create something like it, using the batch solver's code.

*Don't count on it though

Hey, I don't have a C-compiler so I can't get the latest version of HARCS on my laptop at least for the next few hours. Anyway, I was hoping someone could run a method file for me.
