The reconstruction thread

I don't really think I should make a thread about this, so I'm just putting it here.

What would you guys think about having a simple webpage where you could go, plug in the scramble and solution step by step, and time spent on each step, and then you could have the full post ready (coded and all)? It would automatically calculate STM and ETM, as well as STPS and ETPS. You can change the name of the steps, making it viable for all cubes and methods. I think I could upload it online, so just ask if you want to see a preview. It's very small ATM (5kb), so there's no question about it taking a long time.

Question for you guys: How could I go about doing the percentages, since you could change the steps with complete freedom. I was thinking just do the major 2 methods (CFOP and Roux), but this would cause problems for bigcubes and other methods.

Thoughts?

Sounds good, would love to see a preview.
 
Obviously lots of things to be done, but I've uploaded it. http://cubesites.webs.com/rpg.html
Now I just need some code to figure out how I can make stuff line up without tabs (since there is no tab in HTML, literally)

What do you think about having one for CFOP and one for Roux?

Looks good so far. I was thinking the times column should be narrowed down to just things like cross+1 and F2l as a whole since I've never gotten the time for each individual F2l. Also I think the stats could go in a separate box just like they are in our reconstructions.
 
@chrissyD, I'm trying to reconstruct some solves where I don't have the scramble, I use cube explorer but you can never see the green face during the solve, what do I do? Cube explorer just tells me that "The definition of the facelet colors are incomplete!"
 
@chrissyD, I'm trying to reconstruct some solves where I don't have the scramble, I use cube explorer but you can never see the green face during the solve, what do I do? Cube explorer just tells me that "The definition of the facelet colors are incomplete!"

reconstruct the solve anyway. Then after the cross or a few moves press the apply move buttons on CE to match your reconstruction. this might reveal a few hidden colors you didn't see before. Another way is to do the whole reconstruction without the scramble and set alg.garron to solver instead of generator. alg.garron will reverse the reconstruction and show you the cube before the solve started. Only downside to this is the reconstruction has to be right. I'm not great at explaining these things so if you're still stuck then I could make a video on how to do it but I'm not sure when I can do that.

For me, Cube Explorer fills in some of the stickers automatically when it can be worked out.

This is part of the problem with having it variable for all methods :p
I guess I'll make one for CFOP and one for Roux (maybe other methods further on)
 
I think that if it was integrated into alg.garron, then that would be really useful. You could have the reconstruction AND the TPS all copied from that little box. Consider PMing this to Lucas to see what he can do with it.

This was crystal clear, thank you for the explanation. Might be back later tonight though, if I encounter any problems....

No probs :D

I think this thread needs a some reconstructions now :p

Done with CFOP. It works so simple, just put in the steps, and time for the 3 splits (C+1, F2L, LL), and it generates the entire post for you, in code and all.

It took me forever to find the scramble. I hope the reconstruction was as close as possible to the real thing.



First ever reconstruction. :D
I will be doing roux reconstructions from now on.
I will probably finish the avg 12 tomorrow.

EDIT: Adding solves here as i go on.

wow looks really good, Just a few things though, would it be possible to add options for things like X-cross and oll/pll skips and the option to make the last layer longer for people who use 2ll oll/pll?. Also would it be possible to add spoiler tags to the post with the first tag being something like
?

Nice job though, I didn't expect it to get done so quick :tu

I was looking at those options, but it makes things really complicated. I'll revisit it after I'm done with the roux one

I didn't expect it to get done so quick
 
Can someone help me with the reconstruction?

I cant manage to see what moves he does :/
