Hi,
So recently I've been knuckling down and learning the CMLL cases for Roux.
I've been using mostly Waffo's CMLL list, but I use a different color scheme than him So it's been hard to use his list since I'm not only trying to identify the case, but also de-code it to my color scheme.
So I went to the store and bought some graph paper and colored pencils, and drew in a cube graph of different CMLLs with my color scheme and put the notation next to it.
After I got all the "L" and "H" cases down on paper and practiced them, I came up with an idea and wanted to see if anyone else has done time trials for identification of different cases, and using like drill cards to see what case it is, and then doing the correct CMLL.
My idea:
Take pictures of the different cases for CMLL (which can be identified from a single perspective) and play the pictures of the cases back on your computer in a random order, and use your cube to solve the case you see on the screen. (Irregardless as to if your cubes is in a solved state or not.) With this you could change the delay between pictures, and therefore increase the speed at which you practice identification and solving.
Basically a time trial to see how quickly you can identify the case, and how long it takes to recall the algorithm.
I figure I could put the ones I know into picture form, and put those pictures in a folder and use that as a random picture list such as a screen saver to play them back... and as I learn more cases, simply add them to the folder so that only the ones I know are included in the practice.
I could also set up each case with 4 different color sets that I would normally expect to see during a solve, so that I'd have pretty much every possible color combination I would expect to see on any given solve.
Then as time goes on... speed up the rate in which the pictures change... forcing me to identify, and solve the cases at a faster pace to keep up with the screen.
So, has anyone had any experience with doing this, or do you think it would be beneficial to getting better at practicing the 42 CMLLs?
