Prisma Puzzle Timer Requests

[Mollerz]

I was thinking about making an option for widescreen to allow room for more solves: View attachment 3493
Then there's more room down below too. Anything you guys want on the main screen that I could add down there?

I don't know how difficult this would be but it's worth a suggestion anyway. Since they are all in boxes, how about an "Edit" mode to make it all entirely modular so you can customise it to your liking dependant on screen size, and what YOU want to see.

Also session average too please. The main reason why I don't use prisma is that. Yours is a great suggestion too

Yeah, that's not gonna happen anytime soon (unless there's an easy way to do this that I don't know about). But thanks for the suggestion, I also thought of that.

What exactly do you mean by session average. The statistics on the main screen are about your current session. I am planning on adding saveable sessions soon, which then you would be able to go back and look at previous sessions.

How about adjustable sizes of sections that you can drag?

Also, love the widescreen idea.

 

[AntFu]

Can you add option to change the scramble when adding solutions or after? Sometimes I add solutions of hand scrambles or from other timer and I cant edit or delete the scramble.

i don't understand why not to download the currant build...

 

[AmazingCuber]

That widescreen would be awesome!

I'll look into that.

Yeah, I'll definitely do something with that. I'm also trying to think of a way to skip the current scramble that would look nice in the current layout. I could easily add a button but I can't think of where I would put it and how it would look.

You can if you want, but I don't guarantee backward compatibility when upgrading to an official release (some features might not work or you might lose some of your times once an official release comes out). Of course I'm working on creating an update manager that would handle all problems, so I don't foresee any problems I just don't want people getting mad at me. I haven't heard of any major problems yet with the current build.

I have 761 Skewb solves in prisma but in a older version where you have to add that category. I way to move that data to a different one with out changeing the date would be nice. And if I want to update the new version isn't compatible with the old is this going to be fixed. Also having a FMC category would be cool. But that would have to have a completely different layout. A count down timer from an hour. An input solution and how many moves. Also I multi-bld one too would be cool. Also maybe a bld mode like in qqtimer.

One of the things that I'm working on will let you merge categories or transfer solves from one category to another. "And if I want to update, the new version isn't compatible with the old. Is this going to be fixed?" It took me at least a minute to figure out what you were trying to say. Which incompatibility issues are you talking about? I am definitely going to add an FMC category, multi-bld, and better bld (all official events will have something).

Would a way to change scramble font size be possible?

It's been bugging me having to look closer to the screen.

I have the version with timing to 1/1000th of a second with the same layout. I tried to used the new with the old database file but it wouldn't work, but would with a new one. I want to keep old times.

I'm assuming the old database file is from Prisma 0.6 from Walter Souza's page? Or is it one of my older versions?

 

[KingTim96]

Where are the updates located at? And i think it would cool, but not neccesary, to have like a "Worst average of 3/5/12 etc". That would be kind of cool

Eventually I plan on making a statistic manager where you can define your own statistics. I probably will never add that as a default but it could probably be added as a custom statistic.

 

[RubiksJake12]

Haha, just viewed this thread out of curiosity. According to the poll, it looks like every option should be added to the PPT haha.

The widescreen mode looks great, thanks for working on PPT. A statistics manager would be a great idea. I'd like to be able to have statistics like average of 100 instead of just mean (both 98/100 and 90/100). Also, is their any easy way (or could one be added) to export all the times from a session as a list, without numbering and scrambles (that appear in session summary)? Being able to just get something that looked like this would be good:

1.93, 2.34, 5.38+, DNF(1.21), 4.32

It was created with 0.5 or 0.6 maybe but unlikely 0.4. It that matters. I use a version you made that works with the old one.

I'll look into that.

Very nice idea. My suggestion for the button: it can just be a "skip scramble" or "next scrambe" button in the right of the scramble.
Also, it will be great to be able to stop the timing without getting the time recorded, like in the SpeedCube Timer application for android.

Yeah, that positioning would make sense I just don't think it would look good aesthetically. Maybe controls could be a panel down bottom for widescreen.
