Random Cubing Discussion

[uberCuber]

It looks great to me, Stachu; thanks for working on this!

 

[StachuK1992]

Here's a .jar of the current alpha version.

Things it doesn't have:
-good output
-incomplete cube support
-pandas
-gripper implementation.

These should all be done tomorrow. Especially the third one.

Have fun alpha-testing this. Let me know your results; I should release beta tomorrow night much more formally.

This is great, Stachu. But perhaps you should make your own thread now.

How about starting with with a solved rather than blank cube? Or even better with CE style buttons.

I love U2 flick

 

[whauk]

even faster:
R U' R' U R U' L U r' F U2 R U2 R2
if you only care about the fingertrick: yes thats what i use as well. pretty cool also for OH. (and i started using it with right)

Its just 4x4 OLL parity, Not really anything I would use in a real solve. Just U2 spamming.
Thanks for the alg BTW (Lets learn this and use it one day and feel cool)
Been doing U2 flick forever, I want to be able to do this on 4x4...

So......not sure where to post this, but I just managed to teach my brother how to solve the cube. I only taught him beginners method, but I think he might have potential. He picked up the cube and instinctively started using fingertricks for U and F moves, so who knows? Maybe someday he'll sub-10 or something like that.

the next faz?!

train the padwan
teach him the way

Not now....one day, when he is old enough, I will teach him the way.....of fridrich....

too old and he will remeber emotion

learn you will

ok screw yoda

 

[asportking]

If it takes him two minutes to solve the last layer, and literally had no idea how to solve the cube two hours ago, I don't think he's ready for f2l

For 2x2

U2 R2 U2 R U2 F' U2 R' U' R' U'

z2 x' R2 U' R' U' L' U2
or written as
z2 [L: (R U' R')] (L U' L') U2

funfun

 

[whauk]

two twisted corner 3-cycles
(R' F B' R U' D)*5
found by messing around

 

[qqwref]

An interesting 2gen sequence (ignore the centers):
M U' M' U M' U M' U' M

A variation which only affects the E centers:
M U' M' U M' u M' u' M

And finally, a void parity:
M U' M' U M' U M' U' R U R' U' M U R U' R'

Is <R,U,2F> seem like decent enough notation for a 3x3 alg that is limited to only U moves, R moves, and a maximum of two F moves?

 

[RyanReese09]

Yes.

I'd say no since 2F itself is a move in SiGN (the same as S on 3x3 and f on 4x4+) so it could be confusing.

How about <R,U,2*F>? (Alternatively, <R,U>+2*F.)

 

[uberCuber]

I'd say no since 2F itself is a move in SiGN (the same as S' on 3x3 and f on 4x4+) so it could be confusing.

How about <R,U,2*F>? (Alternatively, <R,U>+2*F.)

? Judging by alg.garron.us, S follows F (meaning 2F = S on 3x3, not S')

 

[qqwref]

Oh, you're right. My bad.
