pll_trainer: helps you practice PLL's

[badmephisto]

Just to let you guys know I just released version 1.2
and as requested by many of you, now you can also enable/disable certain PLLs. So if you don't know a PLL you can just disable it and it will not be generated for you.

That is awesome! But i have a problem, I can't recognize the PLL like that, especially Gs, Ns. If you change the pictures files, can it still work?

yes all you need to do is rotate them in windows image viewer or something. all the pictures are in the folder. the program just loads them. It takes a little while to get used to knowing which PLL it is you see on the picture, but after few minutes its instant.

 

[van21691]

i guess that you can change the picture. but make sure it has the same size.
as you can see in your files. it says 'PLL01.jpg' i believe. just modify the image that you want and resave that

I finally got around to downloading it, this is awesome!!! Thank you very much, I am going to use this a lot!

It is nice practice for recognition, not just execution. So it gives the time that actually correspond to a real solve. I'm going to take screen shots of the cases on gabbasoft for pictures. Is there one for OLL?

no the one for OLL would take up too much space on screen ... 57 algorithms heh. I wouldn't use it for recognition, but if you really want to, try it. Its more just execution, and seeing what algorithms you need to replace because you suck at executing them

I've been waiting so long for some one to make something like this thanks so much!

Really?
It seems to be nice for recognition. You look at the case, recognize it, and do it. It is a more realistic time than simply doing the alg with a timer. I can practice execution with a regular old timer.
Usually most of my algs are 2-3 seconds for execution, (over 3-4 for N, some G's, sometimes Y and E)
But with this recognition time added, it is difficult to get sub-3.5 on easy algs. So it is pretty useful to simulate PLL part of last layer.
I use 2-look OLL, so I guess I can alter the pictures for the cases I already know.

I keep getting a "run-time error 9" and it crashes. :/ Happens after about 20 solves

I know, i was made aware of this just recently. I feel terrible about it, I will fix the bug and re-release. Terrible terrible

 

[genwin]

is there a new version out??

 

[badmephisto]

is there a new version out??

im sorry i forgot to remove the note about the crashing. It doesnt crash anymore, that was fixed long ago. The one linked is the latest version. (and probably final version too, theres not much else I wanted for the program)

 

[CharlieCooper]

this is just what i needed to brush up my pll skills, thanks

 

[genwin]

maybe an OLL or cross trainer next(maybe asking too much??), that would be nice for beginners. thanks for the PLL trainer...

Its version 1.1 right?? And there should be a cubing tools download section too. For this, and timers, etc..

badmephisto, is there ANY chance you can post this to linux as well?

 

[badmephisto]

it works on unix if you use wine I believe. And I had someone contact me about the source code, he wanted to make the app work on a Mac, so maybe that will be added in future too.

OLL trainer would be a lot of work And its the manual work that I hate Like researching and entering probabilities for each PLL, copy and pasting pictures and stuff all over the place and stuff... meh

Cross trainer is already made and its a nice web app, ,from Johannes. He has it on his website I forget what it is now. I tried to get him to do xcross webapp too but hes too lazy

You should've written programs to do the repetitive things.

Show me a good free host that supports Haskell.

why not use the same host that your normal cross app is already using? Are you concerned about traffic? CPU cycles? Space?

Quite correct. I use it in Ubuntu under Wine, but it's got an issue which don't exist in the windows version
