Triplex

I feel like I need to ask Meep if the 6 single was done accidentally with that glitch or not. I'm just not sure if it was a legitimate easy solve or if the time was recorded by accident.

Actually, it might be easier to just reset the leaderboard after this glitch gets fixed...

u probably want to change that the key "r" resets the puzzle but wont stop the solve. because my 2 move 0,17s solution would be kinda lucky else ;)

SoulSeeker -

Fantastic bug find! I'll kill that bug tonight, right after dinner! Unfortunately, I'll dump the 2 move solve too. (sorry).

with quadplex there are several issues. for examples the mouseover/scrollwheel isnt functioning. and if you mouseover and use the arrowkeys the upper wheel turns (mouseover) turns the right wheel and vise versa. and the keyboard controls are strange aswell. the furthest left keys move the right wheel and the right keys move the left wheel.. i dunno the whole keyboard controls of the quadpley feel unnatural to me...

I killed the scroll wheel function. Different browsers treat the scroll wheel event differently. And, stupid Adobe changed the way they trapped the event from AS2. Anyway, long story short.... I couldn't make it work reliably in all browsers so I killed it. I plan to implement a drag function in its place. You know, drag the mouse across the wheel and it will rotate in the direction as if the wheel was pinned in the center.

Uhallgeo, I think you should make all the different puzzles (triplex, quadplex, quadplex II, etc.) in one flash "window", so you can choose which one you want to solve and stuff without going to different URL's. I think it'd just be much easier.

You and I think very much alike! I have already been working on just that.

I actually record more than is shown in the leaderboard. I did that in order to stop hacking and cheats. So I can use that info to find bad solves. After I fix the glitch tonight, I'll try to go through the database and try to 'clean' it up. Throwing away honest achievements just seems wrong.

Great to see updates happening soon :)

Another thing, sometimes I (randomly, I'm pretty sure) get the certificate to pop up. But not all the time. One thing I don't like is the lifetime average on it since the idea is too get better, so your lifetime average is waaay higher than what you currently average, for most people. I think you should have a little database of the session, which gives you average of 5, average of 12, and session average (and maybe best ao5 and ao120). If you didn't know, averages are calculated by removing the best and worst time, than finding the mean for the three middle times.
 
If you get averages working, it might be interesting to have a high score list of averages of 5 or 12. (To prevent cheating, the session should reset whenever you quit out of a solve after seeing the scramble.) Although it would be in roughly the same order as the single ranking, it would prevent people being lucky and getting a really amazing time, because you need to be consistently good to get a good average.
 
29.811 (45.207) 25.719 (22.744) 27.729 => 27.753
29.882 (45.977) 40.79 34.98 26.448 24.527 44.288 29.811 45.207 25.719 (22.744) 27.729 => 32.938

Edit: Sub 20 single

19.736

62 @ 3.14

What is your method for quadplex? You get sub 20 times and I am struggling to get sub 2:30

It's pretty similar to Triplex. I have a feeling my Quadplex method is much more efficient than what other people are doing...
- Setup the left face 180 degrees away (so, solve two red edges, grey, pink, and a white corner).
- Solve all of the right face (yellow).
- Solve the bottom face (blue) and insert the cyan pieces.
- Using F,U moves (and some L,U if you want) solve the top face (green)
- Solve the brown pair, then the white pair, and finally fix the left face.
For reference, I treat the four wheels as the L, U, R, and F faces, and use a key setup that reflects this.

Also - Quadplex II is making my brain die. O.O

EDIT : I think I'll wait until there's an image up, showing what it should look like solved.

I feel like I should warn you guys:
- Quadplex II is pretty hard, and
- I'm not going to tell how to do it (two reasons: my method isn't especially advanced/efficient so I'm not really withholding anything here, and I think y'all would gain something from trying to figure this one out on your own.)

Posted a 3:44, I'll try to improve it tomorrow :)
 
Quadplex II is too much for my brain at 1:00 A.M.

Yay, 59.33 Triplex single :D

EDIT : 51.17. Wut. So lucky, but I did force a skip of a part of my method. :3 I average ~1:20.

EDIT2 : 52.00. Bummer. :P

EDIT3 : 55.97. Could've been PB, but I messed up near the end.

EDIT4 : Holy ****. 40.97! YAY IMPROVEMENT. 62 moves. My 51.17 was 67! :O

EDIT5 : Are you ****ing kidding me? 2 solves later, a 47 move 33.40.

EDIT6: After ~ 15 solves in the 1:01-1:30 range, I got a 47 move 31.67. I'm done for tonight.

Not that I'm aware of; I would've reported it here. ):
