Prisma Puzzle Timer

[Cuberik]

I can't see my best solves in the statistic. It would be very great if you could implement a Field where your single and AVG PB is shown.

Go to View -> History (Ctrl + Alt + H) it has your best times and your best averages, as well as a ton of other details. Also if you select a series of solves in this section it will tell you the best of the ones you've selected (so you can find your best times of say the week).

I'm on Vista.
Latest version of Java, latest PPT.
My stackmat used to work with CCT very well. If I plug it in the mic, that annoying sound comes out...so everything seems to be all right, but I did every possible try (I think) and still nothing happens in PPT... The stackmat doesn't work with the timer for me. Any suggestions?

Check my post above. What channel is the annoying sound coming out of?

Mine is giving erros and saying that it cant connect. It ask if the program is already running which is not the case? how can i fix it?

ENd the javaw.exe process in windows task manager, not sure for mac.
Also restarting your computer works too.

If you erase them from the history then you will never be able to find them again that deletes it from the records. If you want a new session just select a new Categoy and then go back to the 3x3 or whatever you were doing or you can press the red X by the time in the bottom left corner and it will delete if from the history instead of going into history to delete them.

Or you could just have a reset button...

Or delete the old one (version 0.4) and the: "puzzletimer.lock" and "puzzletimer.h2" or something that looks like.
Whit a green and yellow gear and download version 0.4 again and maybe you most delete version 3.1 if you have these.

So I made a new category for a 3-5 relay. Is there a way I can make it so it will give me scrambles for each cube?

I have found the solution to my problem. All I had to do was to mute one channel. It doesn't matter which one it is. l/r...1/2. If you leave both at the same level, it won't work

I hope this will help others as well. I'm happy now .
The stackmat is plugged into "Line In"...of course you have to do also the proper setting in PPT, but I guess everyone knows that.

How do I use this?

When I extract the files I have the following folders:

com
info
META-INF
net
org

 

[Athefre]

The one I downloaded was 0.4. Was there supposed to be a .java file outside of those folders? Is it somewhere within one of those folders? All I see are a bunch of .class files.

 

[Godmil]

Not on pc to check the file names, but basically you're not supposed to extract the files, just double click on one of the, and java will do the rest.

 

[Athefre]

Thanks.

I had to install the latest version of Java and double click on the 0.4 .jar file. Before, my computer was using WinRAR. I don't think I've ever seen this kind of file.

Imagine the effort it takes to shave 10 secs off your time if your averaging 5 mins...then what about 10 secs off a 1 min avg? 30 sec avg? 15 sec avg? 10 sec avg!?!? Times don't drop linearly...most standard graphs (including your example) will have parabolic curves. With consistent practice, performance almost always improves exponentially, unless some limit is being reached. Behavior analysts always use log10 charts to measure behavior.

Just wanting to inform your decision a little bit...not trying to argue at all =) You'll never hear me mention it again. I really appreciate your work so far, and already consider your's the best timer available!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say you're wrong. I think times are better described by a *polynomial* function and therefore a logarithmic scale wouldn't be very useful. Anyway, I'll plot my real times and we'll see.

My computer isn't picking up my stackmat.
I used a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter and an m-m audio cord.
What am i doing wrong?

 

[Walter Souza]

I seem to be having a problem with the keyboad shortcuts. This is because every now and again I accidentaly knock the SPacebar on my ay to the second ctrl with my cube, causing the time not to count and the timer to change to space trigger. Maybe a way of setting it so shortcuts don't work while timing?
Also, does anyone else have this problem?

I've never hit the space key accidentally. Try dropping the cube before pressing the ctrl keys, just like you would do with a stackmat timer.

 

[Walter Souza]

Walter, awesome work! Will that be in the next release then? Since I suggested it, could I get a pre-release if we have to wait until then? I think being able to find good x-cross solutions would certainly help out some F2L's, especially for me. I know that when I've already got a preserved pair, my F2L time drops significantly for me (sometimes up to 2s, if it's preserved in an easy 3 move insert state).

MaeLSTRoM: You could use StefanPochmann's way of not hitting any other keys. He used cardboard with some cutouts to go over the right keys. Check out his youtube to see what I mean.

Yes, it'll be in the next release. Once I make it usable, I'll send you an executable.

Also, there will be color neutral optimal cross/x-cross tips in the next version.

No one knows?
