Prisma Puzzle Timer

Hmm...the inspection beeps at 8 and 12 seconds just stopped working on v.6. Opened up v.4 and it wasn't working there either. Any ideas on a fix? Volume is on, tried rebooting.
 
Doesnt work. Press space and nothing happens.

Someone else posted a solution for this that seems to work for me. Instead of launching PPT from a shortcut, launch from the actual file.

I never used to, but on my new laptop it does it quite frequently. I think its a 64-bit java thing

I'm not so sure it's specific to 64-bit. I'm running 32-bit and I get the same problem :/
 
I was suspicious about the "press space and nothing happens" thing. I'm imagining that it only happens to me when I hit the space bar very quickly. So I suspect that the "press space bar" function is being called correctly, but if "release space bar" comes too quickly, the interrupt gets masked.

So far I haven't had the space bar problem when I press carefully (for long enough). If that turns out to be the problem, I'll consider fixing the code.

I modified the code on my computer in several ways:
(a) I like to see the "best" times so I know what I'm shooting for. So I set it up to show me these rather than "xx:xx.xx".
(b) I tilted the history graph by 90 degrees so I can see my times better. It's a less intuitive graph but it displays better.
(c) I changed it so it ignores leading numbers like "12." in the "scramble queue". This means I can take the output from the Race to Sub-30! thread and feed it directly into a file and then get prisma puzzle timer to run it.
(d) I like to see more of my solves so I changed the standard display so that as you expand it vertically, the extra space goes to the history rather than the timer display. The timer display doesn't increase information content as it gets larger but the history does get longer.
 
Could you change the way the times are displayed? Now, the first time is at the bottom and the next is placed on top of the first and so on. I think it is more natural if the first is the on top and the rest gets displayed underneath.

I still haven't figured this one out. Just tried re-downloading the program. Had it start a new db file and also imported an existing one. Inspection beeps still didn't work for either case.

Recently, the spacebar has been fidgety too. When opening the program, sometimes there is no spacebar response, even though the option was selected. Closing and re-opening seems to fix the problem though.
 
How do you exactly fix that 'spacebar not working' problem, I have to reopen the app like 10 times before I get it working lol. Still, it's a very nice app :)
