What software do we need?

[Cool Frog]

There are many 2SidePLL recognition systems. How bout one for CMLL?

I have been using multi angle CMLL recognition for about a week now.
the most sides you have to see is 3, URF....

I could make something that shows you what to recognize for each angle if you want.

I wanna be able to recognize cmll from various angles. to not use unwanted U's, you know?

Timer and scramble overlay on the video. Like the cstimer or qqtimer's background can be set to the video feed and overlay adjusted accordingly .... u know what i mean. So you don't have to show the screen as the proof. The overlay runs when you press space and ticks on until next space. avg5 etc too at runtime.

this may already be out there, but I would like a scramble generator that is not related to a timer so I could print a list of say 100 scrambles and work through them during the day instead of using hand scrambles.

There's Odder's scrambler, is this what you're looking for?

That would require an entirely new specialized timer, and so there is a good chance that a lot of people may not even use it, because people are picky about their timers.

It's not really that hard to do though. Just use some screen recording software while you are cubing. Then once you are finished, overlay it on top of your webcam video. Once you learn how to do it, its probably a 5 minute process.

Here's one for 3x3:

JNetCube is another alternative. Just throws stuff into a text file.

Thank you very much

odder's link didn't seem to work but stefan's seems perfect to me, Thanks again

Strange. I have no problem with it - I use it every week for the Race to sub-20 and the Blindfold Race. It's particularly nice for the Blindfold Race because I can generate scrambles for different-sized puzzles, and then I just have a perl script that populates a template for all the weekly scrambles. It's simple and basic, but I really love odder's scrambler for that.

One thing that would be very simple: A site where you can put in a (my)SQL query and run it on the WCA database. I can't get BigDump to work with phpmyadmin, so I haven't been able to run queries on it

Anybody? Should be fairly simple to set up, just use the database online, textarea, and remove insert and similar functions

Perhaps you were missing the required arguments off the URL

If you go to http://scrambler.odderen.dk/ you will get a blank page as you have not specified any scrambles you want,

whereas http://scrambler.odderen.dk/?333=100&group=10 will give you 100 3x3 scrambles in groups of 10.


Didn't see the original post and was not aware Odder's page was there but will definitely be using it in future. At last some unbiased by hand scramble square-1 during lunch at work

EDit: Also going to have a look at the .NET aCube stuff, thanks for the post Stachu

Can't you just use the mysql command line tool?

An OLLCP trainer where you can turn cases on and off and assign a specific display orientation to each case.

Can you give more detail of what would be necessary for an OLLCP trainer? I've been developing a generalized algorithm trainer over the last few days and I hadn't considered the "specific display orientation". I want to make sure I understand what you mean.

 

[StachuK1992]

I have a request; scramble all but the first layer. (implementation in qqtimer would be nice..)

I was thinking that a timer with achievements would be really cool. Like an achievement pops up on your first sub-20 single, Ao5, Ao12, etc. Also things like "complete 1000 solves" would be nice.

I think this would motivate some people to practice more, as it's fun when you're rewarded with achievements.

this would be awesome!
achievements => yes

Haha ikr?!

Achievements have become so popular in things like Xbox and Minecraft, so why shouldn't they work for cubing?
