Waffle's Roux Tutorial

This page: http://wafflelikescubes.webs.com/sub15guidetoroux.htm

Is there a reason that the last 2/3 of it are no longer there? I'm not sure who runs/ran the site, so I'm not sure who to address this to.

It's not there because I didn't finish it yet
there's a copy somewhere else though.....

I may add a decent PDF version of the algorithms in the near future
Sounds like it could be useful.

Edit: I created a printer-friendly PDF and uploaded it to my site. Please note that its quite ugly and only the print layout.
I may look into some LaTeX-Fu, as I'm not quite satisfied with that look

Yeah, the CxLL pages are a total cluster****.

Someone decided to make a separate page for each case and list them with recognition that no one uses.

I understand why it's listed separately so you can have all the different types of C*LL alg on each page, but it'd be smarter to just have separate pages for CMLL/COLL/CLL/etc that list every alg.

Ah. I thought that you had, but I must have been thinking of the link that Stachu posted. Either way, I found what I'm looking for. Thanks, you two.

I use part of that system for recognition. I learned it from Bob Burtons COLL page. But I don't like many of the algs listed in the CxLL pages.
There is the wiki algorithm database, but that one is a mess as well. The CMLL algs are not sorted in anyway at all.

I'm going through my CMLL algs at the moment. You can find them here. They are in a process of being updated as I find better algs. Most of them are from Kirjava's CMLL thread, but a lot of others are selected from different places and algs I found myself.

I friggin love the stages of development.

Might be a noob, question, but...

Could some of you pro-Roux solvers briefly describe your "M-move" fingertrick (clockwise following "L")? I find mine to be very slow, but perhaps my fingertrick isn't bad and I just need practice. (Waffle's just so fast that I can't keep up on his videos. )

My fingertrick involves moving my left index finger and pushing UB toward UF. Is this the general fingertrick or is there better?

 

[Xishem]

I'm not "pro". ~17s.

But I bring my left ring finger to FD, and pull the M-slice back. I generally hit the edge of the edge somewhere between the mid-bottom of my fingernail and just below the bottom of my fingernail.

 

[LarsN]

Not pro either ~20s

First of I M-slice with my right hand, which is not that common I think. For M I push DB with my middle right finger. For some situations I push BU with my left index though.

I'm not pro, but here's a video I made the other day for my M turns.

 

[waffle=ijm]

sorry but that's not new

I for one just Double Turn.

 

[BigGreen]

clearly the best way to do M is L' l

 

[avgdi]

I'm aware it's not new. I just happened to make a video of it recently for a friend so I figured I'd share it.

 

[Phlippieskezer]

Just for the record, I used the word "pro" not to express that you must have a very good time (i.e. short for professional), but I used the prefix "pro," as in "in favour of," "in support of," etc. As in, a Roux-solver.

Regardless, thanks for the answers. They helped. I mostly use the one described in the video, though, as it's basically a reverse of my M' fingertrick.

clearly the best way to do M is L' l

No, you clearly mean L' R x

 

[Cool Frog]

No, you clearly mean L' R x

You say U I say U5
You say R I say l x

Yahh! The stages of development are done!
