Hi Guys,

I have updated TimeYourCube.com to version 2.2.

This version of TimeYourCube addresses one of the most common request for the site: better scrambles. The site now utilizes the scrambles from the jsss project https://github.com/cubing/jsss. Specifically, the new scrambler uses a random state algorithm for the 3x3x3, which is a very much requested feature.

If you have any issues with the site or requested features, please let me know.

Happy speedsolving!

Changelog
Version 2.2 (December 2015)
  • Changed the scramble engine to the ones in the jsss scramble suite found here https://github.com/cubing/jsss. These scrambles are of higher quality compared to the old ones and also add scambles for a few puzzles that wasn't supported before. In particular the scrambles for the Rubik's cube (3x3x3) is now a random state scrambler (instead of a random move scrambler).
  • Added Skewb and Square-1 cubes
  • Added two new plotting modes under Visualization: 'Daily solves' and 'Scatter plot'.

Version 2.1 (April 2015)
This update was inspired by helpful comments by the users on the speedsolving.com forum
  • Improved user interface on mobile devices, especially tablets.
  • The social bar is now only visible when viewed on larger screens.
  • Added WCA (World Cubing Association) inspection mode where solves are automatically given +2 and DNF (did not finish) penalties if the user over-inspects according to WCA regulations. In this mode, the timer does not automatically begin after inspection time has finished.
    • A penalty of 2+ seconds is given to users who do not start the solve within 15 seconds.
    • A penalty of DNF is given to users who do not start the solve withing 17 seconds.
  • Added ability to manually add/remove +2 and DNF penalties of previous solves.
  • Added ability to see deleted solves including the ability to undelete them.

  • Added new plotting modes.
  • Added option to download log as a comma separated file (csv file), which can be loaded directly into other programs, such as Excel.
  • Added a "social bar", which makes it easy to share this site with family and friends.
  • Fixed a bug that could take the user to an non-existing page when signing up.
  • Added URL navigation.
  • Minor UI improvement, including a loading symbol that appears, when elements on screen are being updated.
