[Update] New Cubing Timer Website - SpeedTimer!

[Flowkap]

I normally would but my parents aren’t on board with that as they want it to be a solo project. Sorry

Sorry of I ask, but you're 21, developing this software and your parents decide? To me that's a bit weird to be honest.

Oh I'm not 21, im 13 I am just used to putting random dates into websites.

Cool UI/UX.

Good job!

That's very impressive to make this whole website at that age!!

This hasn't been fully fixed yet, btw:

I didn't even see this post until after I tried out the timer and hit the exact same issue, lol.

The problematic piece of code:

function increment(start) {
	advance = setInterval(function () {
		timer.style.color = "white";
		if (running == 1) {
			time = Date.now() - start;
			var mins = Math.floor(time / 1000 / 60);
			if (mins <= 9) {
				mins = "0" + mins;
			}
			var secs = Math.floor(time / 1000 % 60);
			if (secs <= 9) {
				secs = "0" + secs;
			}

			var hundredths = Math.round(time % 1000 / 10);
			if (hundredths <= 9) {
				hundredths = "0" + hundredths;
			}

			timer.innerHTML = mins + ":" + secs + "." + hundredths;
		} else clearInterval(advance);
	});
}

You cannot safely do round-to-nearest (Math.round) on individual components of the time; you have to round the time to centiseconds first, then compute the minutes/seconds/hundredths components from there. (It actually also "works" to replace the Math.round with Math.floor (round to minus infinity), but this causes a −0.005 bias. Then again, flooring also matches WCA regs on how to handle rounding, so pick your poison.)

Also also, use performance.now() instead of Date.now() when measuring elapsed time. Guaranteed monotonic clock (it doesn't care about system clock adjustments) and doesn't (shouldn't) break in the presence of leap seconds.

(Although I do see that you're using performance.now instead of Date.now now.)

It is still not working. I think I might be my sides problem. How about you @TheCubingCuber347?

Any Luck?

It seems to work on any other device except my computer. (Chrome) Weird.

Oh. Sorry about that. I hope you can find an alternative way to use it

New to this thread and would just like to say this timer is actually pretty good. I mainly use timers for the art style instead of the stats to be honest and this art style is right up my street, reminding me of CubeDesk. To be doing this at 13 is pretty cool too. Keep up the good work

Just to let you know that I tried to using speedtimer in the 10 unboxing videos I filmed on Thursday that I will upload over the next week or so, unfortunately for most of them there were still issues, I apologize if I put a bad light on it in the QiYi MP 2x2 and 3x3 reviews where it doesn't stop properly and sometimes the scramble doesnt come up. It seems that on my tablet it requires a hard tap to stop whereas other timers can stop with a light tap.

 

[CoderGuru]

Could you give a bit more info on your tablet? I have a tablet and an iPad and speedtimer works flawlessly on them both.

I have a suggestion,
In my iPad when I time myself, I like to hold down the time button and release when I’m ready. But, inside speedtime, I can’t do that, I just highlight the text. But in cstimer, it works just fine. Can you fix this?

 

[Ninjascoccer]

Also can you make the alg trainers coloured?

 

[SpeedCuberSUB30]

Pretty sure, this is not a PLL

Its an H perm with 2 arrows only

Ill try - thanks for the suggestion

Thanks for 3k views on this thread!

The PLL recognition "game" is a good idea, but I don't think it was implemented well. It would be far better to have the images be colored like an actual cube rather than having the arrows. No one actually recognizes PLL by looking at which pieces swap to where, and beginners should not be misled into thinking that they should. Particularly for G perms, it's in my opinion ridiculous to try to recognize based on the swap arrows and not patterns like bars, headlights, opposites, etc.

Would something like this be ok?

That would be better but the ultimate solution would be a 3d cube. But this is still good.
