[MarcelP] Last Layer trainer

[Veerexx]

Thanks heaps for this awesome assistant. I just saw it in your sig and am glad I did. Thanks a bunch This will definitely help my LL speed Hooray.
It also adds the element of not knowing the alg you are about to have to use, so it is great. Thank you
Best LL Trainer I have seen! Badmephisto should replace the one on his site with this one

 

[MarcelP]

Thanks for the comments. I am glad someone actually has use for this app

I really do, it is amazing

 

[MarcelP]

I have uploaded a new version:

Download scrambler_v1_2_7.jar here

I corrcted some OLL algoritms. If you want to renew be sure you also remove algsOLL.txt on you PC before downloading the new version.

This looks really sweet! Looks similar to my OLL/PLL trainer but bigger/better. Have you thought of porting something like this to browser and Javascript?

EDIT: Also, any chance of keeping track of the average times on per-case basis?

I have been thinking about this myself because I have an IPad. Apple does not allow jars to be runned. Bleh... So yes, I think I will make a version with JQuery (Java script wrapper) for HTML.

Hmm, ok, I will have to implement a database like MySql or Derby or something. Might not be that hard though.. Give me a few weeks.

It could be done easily if you just save the data in a file, a database might be too much

 

[MarcelP]

Hi Omer, it that is more easier. But I would also use the database to put up statistics. And querying a db is waaaaay more easier than looping through records in a file. Btw, nice fractal in your Avatar. Mister Mandlebrot really found something there

If you're not familiar with it, I can strongly recommend http://www.sqlite.org/. It's a top quality file-based sql database. Very easy to use, no need for running a database server etc.

Also, for a web-based port, HTML5 browsers (including Safari) support local databases (typically through sqlite): http://blog.darkcrimson.com/2010/05/local-databases/

Going to test your program now!

 

[MarcelP]

Okay,

Version 2 is released.


Download scrambler_v2_0_0.jar here

For Badmephisto I implemented a embedded database so I could store solves.

And for my self I added a feature to reverse a scramble. Very handy if you join the Fewest moves competition:

 

[KongShou]

did you use java to make this?

 

[MarcelP]

Yep, it's a Java program build in Eclipse.

 

[KongShou]

is eclipse a software? i want make some stuff like this too but i dunno how. BTW is there a software like this for C++ or python?

 

[MarcelP]

Eclipse is free software. Download and learn it here

 

[KongShou]

thanks this look brilliant.

nice, v2 looks good! I still really want to see this as a webapp though, sorry! You can do everything here in Javascript, this doesn't even have to have any server attached to it. Though, I think you once mentioned keeping track of these statistics for users over multiple sessions, in which case that is necessary. One other alternative is to make it a Chrome/Firefox extension and use Local Storage (part of new HTML5 spec) to save these stats on local. But probably going with a server is the best idea. I'd build this with node.js or django for server and using Heroku for hosting.

KongShou: please don't learn Java. Lets leave this horrible mistake of history of man ever die slowly and peacefully. Learn web technology-based development, and for programming languages Python and Javascript; I'd most recomment MOOC classes from Udacity/Coursera/EdX to learn basics. For example, Game Programming in HTML5 class on Udacity: https://www.udacity.com/course/cs255

Is there compatible with osx (Mac)?

It should, but I don't have a Mac myself so I have not tested it.

I think I will look into it. Sounds like fun anyway. It's just that I have a demanding job and a family with small children and doing a bachelor study at night. So it might take a while.

I don't know the names, but the images ant the algs of the two dots OLLs in post #60 are swapped. And now that I'm here I think I'm going to finally give a try to your OLL trainer. How many of them do you know now?

 

[MarcelP]

How many of them do you know now?

I know 43 OLL's by now. I have not added new OLL's because I have a competition upcomming, but I am dedicated to learn the rest after the competition. With my program I can learn OLL's quite fast.

That might be true. I am not the accurate person I should be. You can fix any mistake I made simply by altering the text files with the correct algorithms. Btw, these are the algs I prefer, this might not be the case for you. You should look at the OLL alg page on the wiki before choosing what algs you want to learn.
