Greetings, SSF.
Some of you may know the archive.org page of
Today, I sat down for 5 hours and got to work fixing the applets, painstakingly replacing every AnimCube applet with a new, AnimCube3.js applet by hand (a total of 209 applets!) (it was a lot of manual work, until I got tired of it and just wrote a Python script to do the rest once I got halfway through the first alg table). I have now finished this task, and the resulting file is attached to this post. All you have to do in order to see the page in its full, original glory is:
Now, there are still some things left to fix: On the page, there is currently a reference to an unknown missing file called
EDIT: Maybe it should just load AnimCube3 from an external source, and not a local file. I'm too lazy to fix that right now
Some of you may know the archive.org page of
nooks_zz.htm
, the original ZZ method proposal webpage from all the way back in 2006, though you probably don't know that it was also supposed to contain animated cube applets, which served to showcase example solves, F2L algs and a huge table of last layer algs. These cube applets, based on AnimCube (a Java applet), used to work on old browsers, but modern ones such as Chrome or Firefox no longer support them. Therefore, if you were to load up the page's archive today, it would look broken and empty.Today, I sat down for 5 hours and got to work fixing the applets, painstakingly replacing every AnimCube applet with a new, AnimCube3.js applet by hand (a total of 209 applets!)

- Download the attached
nooks_zz_new.txt
, and rename it tonooks_zz_new.htm
(the forum won't let me upload it as .htm) - Download AnimCube3.js, and put it in the same folder
- Open the first file in your browser of choice
Now, there are still some things left to fix: On the page, there is currently a reference to an unknown missing file called
ang_flag.gif
, and an EOLine trainer applet written by Zborowski that wasn't archived anywhere, as far as I'm aware.EDIT: Maybe it should just load AnimCube3 from an external source, and not a local file. I'm too lazy to fix that right now
