Introducing qqTimer!

[qqwref]

I fixed the bug that caused reset to change colors.

Glitch/Bug: If you put a comment in for, say the 2nd solve of an AO100, & then you click on your best AO12 the comment will be on the 2nd solve even if it doesn't pertain to that solve. Same for AO5 & AO100.

Wow, you're right - I'm surprised nobody noticed this before. Fixed.

i noticed this a few days ago.

You didn't tell me

 

[Zane_C]

Hmm, my colour changed just before, but it's the first time ever and I changed it back and it's fine now, I think I may of pushed something though.

 

[Cyrus C.]

I'm using the link from the first page, timing in 1/1000 seconds with spacebar. When I stop the spacebar the time doesn't get entered into the log or stats. 'nor does it when I start another solve.

I just thought of something that would be really cool in my opinion. If you have ever been on Omegle, you know there's an option to post your conversation to Facebook. Would you be able to implement a feature that lets you post times & averages to the Accomplishment Thread, directly from the timer? Let's say you just got a PB AO12, you click on the AO12 in the sidebar & it displays the normal content, but below it, something like "Get a good average? Post it to the accomplishment thread!"

I'm not sure how hard this would be, but it would be really cool.

The main problem I see is that the user would have to login.

Maybe put a spot for your SS username and password and then click on the button?

Is it really that much work to copy/paste >_>

That would work. Only do it once though & save it to your computer. Or else that would be as cumbersome as copy & paste.

 

[qqwref]

Why not just have an option to post averages directly to facebook? :O

Unfortunately I don't have any idea how to do cross-site scripting stuff like that, so for now you'll just have to take the extra few seconds and copy-paste.

Most people use cookies and are always logged in. You could just be lazy and put a disclaimer warning you that you must be logged in already.

Honestly though, its not a feature really worth implementing. Facebook would be cool though.

qq, whatever you did, I'm happy about it because now I can hold down the spacebar forever without it registering 0.00. And did j-fly ever get my message about the simulator? It blanks out every time I click out of the frame, and doesn't even work now, plus it's really buggy and slow. You know anything about that?

Actually in some browsers on Linux (and this varies across flavors too...) this is still sort of a problem: repeated keystrokes can trigger neither keyup or keydown events, but other times trigger both keyup and keydown events! Fortunately Windows browsers are consistent when it comes to this. Unfortunately, this makes it harder to reliably prevent the timer from starting when spacebar is held down on Linux. It is nice just to ignore those browsers on Linux... too bad Chrome is one of them...

Unless you know of a fix (a way javascript code could consistently detect key releases and presses), Linux users will pretty much just have to deal with this. If your browser can't run javascript properly, at least you've got CCT

I was hoping you would't say that >.>

Require 2 different key-ups, as in, hold down multiple keys to "prime" the timer like a stackmat and start the timer when both keys are released. I'm not sure if I like that idea though.

On another note, on the keydown event when stopping the timer, it might be good to capture that event (in case someone hits something like F5).

 

[Cyrus C.]

Facebook would be cool though.

I think only 4 friends of mine on Facebook cube, I doubt any would care though. I think the Accomplishment Thread would be much better. But, since he can't do that (yet), there's not much of a point debating it.

i love you, qqtimer.

Simple fix for me. I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. I don't have the 0.00 problem any-more.

I was thinking this even before I got into bld. Make a new timer setting, BLD. Where you press the spacebar at the end of memo, then at the end of solve. Just a suggestion.

 

[lilkdub503]

ZB, that "just a suggestion" thing got us into a huge mess last year.
