Prisma Puzzle Timer

I'm also getting the "...database. Isn't PPT already running?", so I'm hoping for a new version soon.

Killing the process or rebooting the machine should fix this.

As far as I remember, if you imported scrambles, the scramble that was already on the screen would still be there as the first scramble. I know that I could just solve it as a warm-up, but I think it is quite annoying that it must to be deleted to get the right stats.

This is by design. This way, you can manipulate the queue before solving the imported scrambles.
 
If you get around to releasing the next version, maybe you could make it so that the puzzle profiles are saved seperately, so that people can make custom ones for other puzzles and share them on the internet. It could include scrambles, the 3d view, color scheme etc.

That would be awesome, but unfortunately can't be done right now. Maybe in Prisma 2... ;)
 
I would like to make a big request for the next version. When you do solves and they are over 60 seconds on the timer it counts in minutes but when i bring up the session summary i get all the times in Seconds when i want them in minutes! like for 4x4 i was doing solves for Race to Sub 1 4x4 and i needed to post my times in minutes and not seconds so i had to convert each one to minutes instead of just pressing ctr + a ctr+c ctr + v. If you could do that or add an option for time in seconds or minutes that would be great!

Thanks Tall5001. It's fixed in the development version.
 
I've tried to use my stackmat together with Prisma but with no luck. It works with CCT.

My setup is:
OSX 10.6.7
java 1.6.0_24
stereo cable and mini-jack converter

In CCT I have to check all 3 checkboxes that adjust time otherwise it dislays 15:165.165 instead of 00:00.00

I've also tried to adjust the input level but also with no luck. Any ideas?

Take a look at posts #401 and #411. If it doesn't help, follow the instructions in #213.
 
Killing the process or rebooting the machine should fix this.

I have tried that many times and it doesn't work. I made a new user account on the computer and re-downloaded ppt and then I could get it running.

I also have stackmat problems like hr.mohr. My OS is winXP, but the rest is the same. Oh well, maybe it is just a danish thing!
 
Ok guys so i need some help please!! Its not really to do with the program but i am having problems. When i take my audio cable and plug it into the computer i get the noise that the timer makes to make the numbers and everything work with the computer com out of my speakers. I have tried 3 different cables and 2 different timers and on my laptop its all the same thing. even disabling my microphones it still makes this annoying thumping sound. I am not sure what happened because this has never happened before and i have been using a stackmat with the computer for a while. If anyone can redirect me to a post which explains how to fix this or something that would be amazing! i was recording a review and then went to do some solves with the cube to show everyone and this happened i still haven't even done anything with it. Im just frustrated! it was working correctly 2 days ago and i didnt use it yesterday. Any help would be much appreciated thanks!


Edit: Never mind i fixed the problem sorry for the double post!

I have some ideas how to improve PPT:
I should be able to create sessions that I have, for example an old 3x3 session and a new 3x3 session, because I want to recognise the process of getting faster in average. :D
And after implementing this, it would be nice if I see the current average always on the bottom right corner.
Everything else is fine :D No doubt, it's the best PC timer!
 
Problems with One Hand solving?

When I place both hands on the stackmat and remove only one, the stackmat stops, but Prisma Timer does not. If I remove the other hand from the timer at any point it will start. Does anyone know how to fix this?
 
I request that it be added onto the timer, the function to do multiple cubes at once (give the scrambles and such). Although my You Can do the rubik's cube competition is on Saturday it would be nice to have it in the future.
