Reconstruction Database - Cubesolv.es

[Lucas Garron]

Hmm, I'm currently working on making this work at alg.cubing.net, although I've been focusing on the playback side of things for now. Would you be interested in working together?

Sure, that sounds like a really good idea.

This is awesome!
looking forward to spending afternoons checking out some zz solves if there are

None yet, I think. If you know of any good/interesting ones please send me a PM!

its at the top

I think things like NAR and WR should be next to the time.

Thanks, yeah it's on the list

This is fantastic! Thank you

You seem to have thought about this, but it would be great if you could add an alg.garron link somewhere on the page for each reconstruction.

Thanks! Yup, will do.

can you write tps??

It's in the issue tracker

 

[Noahaha]

Chess game databases are wildly helpful, so I'm guessing this will be a very useful tool.

I like the idea. I would suggest adding the date of the solve if possible, so you can then sort by that to find the earliest or most recent reconstructed solves. It would also be awesome, if you have the time, to see the solves from the Reconstruction Thread, from lgarron's old reconstruction db (http://alg.garron.us/solves/), and from the wiki's list of WRs.

Wow this is really cool and definitely has a lot of potential! So many features you could add

Issue: http://www.rcdb.justinjaffray.com/solve/60
Scramble says "x2 y" instead of an actual scramble.

That solve does not have a scramble available. You can do the inverse of the solve to get to the scrambled state.

great idea!
suggestions on what to add:
-official/unofficial, with/without video, only WR/CR/NR, method... as a search option.
-sort search results by tps/date/solve time/...
-probably add FMC solutions? (these should come with an explanation of course). also method option should be interesting here. (NISS/linear fridrich/roux/orient->permute/ZZ...)
-tick option for converting solutions to (e.g.) white cross. this could help for correcting the scramble: http://cube.crider.co.uk/algtrans.html probably this is too complicated. i don't know much about programming
-rate helpfulness/interestingness of the solution. (that way you could probably find cool tricks faster by only looking at the "most interesting" solutions). however this could be abused by rating down solves of persons you don't like. i don't know whether this is a good idea...

Edit - I personally prefer lower case to w's. Much less cluttered.

but lower case letters can be mistaken for slice moves. and WCA also uses w's.

Ah right, thanks. I thought I would report it just in case it was actually an error

I'll put a link to this on CubingStats once I get home (couple days). Brest's format is the same one provided by RPG, so that could be helpful.

Great idea! I think this could be very useful. If the TPS was added that would be great (feel free to use my movecounter on RPG). It would definitely add to the reconstruction.

This is really great!

There were a couple of things that struck me as I browsed the db:
1. People can and do make mistakes when cubing in competitions - like messed up crosses or doing pairs, even people who I consider to be some of the top cubers.
2. The extent to which people go to use fingertrick-friendly algs. Some PLL algs are almost 20 moves for example, but may be easier to perform than a shorter one. I've been using ones that are optimal or near-optimal, so this is something I'll be looking into.

Can I make a suggestion? Maybe some sort of export or expand button? Something basic would be ok. For example, if I filter solutions by Mats, then I could click on this button and all his solutions would be expanded/dumped in a window which I could manually export by copying and pasting elsewhere.

Thanks! I will get to TPS and stuff eventually

Thanks, please don't hesitate to report stuff like this in the future!

Thanks for the suggestions I do think the converting to white (or arbitrary) cross is a good idea, but I need to think about how to do it a bit since I don't want the page for a solve to become too cluttered.

I'm going to stick with lowercase letters, since that's consistent with what alg.garron.us and Brest use.

This is really great!

Could you explain a little more what you want this for? Like a csv file of all the solutions? How exactly would you be using it?



Just so people know, Brest recently added a lot of solves, so there are almost 400 now, from a lot of different people

Huge update! Check it out! RCDB

Awesome. Also, am I the only one who's never heard of kSim? I just clicked on it out of curiosity and it's great.

kSim has been out for a few months now! Check out the thread.

I have noticed that there is an 'Alex Lau' and an 'Alexander Lau'. These should be merged.

Thanks, fixed.

Is it possible to manually add solves?

Also, I found one of my solves there

If there's a solve you'd like added you can message Brest or me
