changes made:
difficulty changed to size;
blinking rate changed to 1s

@ qqwref:
the difficulty actually increases when you increase the size. I haven't solved any size other that 4x4 before, because the effect of each box clicked is different when size differs.
And about scrambling and time storing problems etc I won't make any further improvements because I wrote this puzzle quite some times ago and at that time I didn't make full use of arrays and now I'm totally lazy to do these minor things except for adding styles etc which would make the puzzle harder.

 

[Neutrals01]

These are my example solves for 4x4, 3 colour, surround style..K073 and I use a different way to solve..but his method is much more advance and much faster...look at our solutions =P

Kee Yen solved the 4x7 size 5 colours surround style !! in 1 hour+.. and also 4x7 size 4 colours surround style in around 1 hour..

Anybody up for a challenge?

Currently we are adding styles..soon there will be 7 styles in total...

Surround
Square
Cross
Cross(Hollow)
X
X(Hollow)
All Out

 

[K073]

OK, everyone. All styles are added.
Please post any bugs or errors found here.

 

[K073]

All out is the easiest of all styles. try it out. I forgot the time of my first solve but i'm sure it's sub-10. Just click all the boxes of the same color and it'll be solved
All out 2 color PB: 0.564

A newer puzzle, Centre Cleared, which idea is created by myself and programmed by K073.

http://k073.webs.com/ctrclr.html
http://k073.webs.com/ctrclr2.html
(version 2)

The goal is simple: by using arrow keys or WASD, move the black box to its original position and change all blocks to its main colour.

Center Cleared is a cool game, although despite the large number of solves I did I have really no idea how it works or why my solving method actually solves the thing.

Also, there's something really wrong with your calculation of averages. You are dividing by i.length - 2 when you should be dividing by j-2.

2 colored 4x4 is too easy, here's a 3-colored avg5:
(3.146), 5.992, 6.513, 4.893, (7.266) => 5.799
You should really add an option to reset all times.
Algs for 3 colored 4x4:
1) RRRRR LL R
2) RRR L RR L R L R

Discoveries:
- # of moves to solve a 100-move 4x4 3-color scramble is equal to 2 mod 6. So it can be 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, ...
- Averages are working
- Sub-4 avg12 on 4x4 3-color is possible (I did it, 3.626)

- Sub-1.2 avg12 on 4x4 2-color is possible (I got 1.166)

 

[K073]

Yea, thanks for informing the avg thing. Btw, new puzzle is coming up!

 

[aronpm]

The Centre Cleared game is fun. I'm still not exactly sure how it works but it's easy to solve. I did about 20 solves.
Best time: 00:00:04:613
Worst time: 00:00:30:768
Best average of 5: 00:00:06:867
Best average of 12: 00:00:09:254

EDIT: Would be faster if Javascript wasn't so slow on my system...

 

[Innocence]

cc is really easy. My second AO5 was about 2 seconds.

Lol that post sounded so uninformed. Anyway, the 2 colour is really easy.

With 3 colour, I thank qqwref for his second alg. I couldn't solve that case where it was just one colour in the middle, and it seems so obvious now I know how.

My method for 3 colour is quite primitive at the moment, and it takes me about 10 seconds on average to solve all corners and most edges.

 

[Carrot]

okay, Now I've been working on the 4x4 2 color for 4 hours... an I still don't get how to solve it -.- I solved it once, but that was with random clicks >.<

EDIT: I solved it... but still 1000+ clicks x'D

yea...you beat me.
can you make a tutorial for me?
I can't really do that fast.

Centre Cleared V3 and V4
V3: http://k073.webs.com/ctrclr3.html
V4: http://k073.webs.com/ctrclr4.html

 

[Neutrals01]

I think Centre Cleared V4 should be replaced into V2 because it is like an add-on for V2..

 

[K073]

Information: CC V4 changed to CC V2
