Naliuj: /* Competitive */

[http://www.twisttheweb.com Twisttheweb] is a comptitive English [[List_of_web-based_software#Web-Based_Timers|Web-Based-Timer]] website created by [[Luis Javier Iáñez Pareja]]. The function of the website is to allow competitive timed cubing in an online environment.
Anonomous usage is not currently possible (As of 18-1-13), as an account is required. Requirements for creating an account include username, password, and valid email for registration. Optional account information includes gender, date of birth, country of residence and/or origin, WCA ID, and a link to a youtube video, which is suggested to be a video of the registrant while cubing. As date of birth if optional information, there is no age limit.

==Competitive==
As a competitive web based timer, the Twisttheweb allows for the creation of "games" into which others may enter, depending on the settings chosen.
A game can be started with only one person, and used as a personal timer, though such a use is not as efficient as Web-Based-Timers designed for individual use.
While in competition, a user has the option to leave, and the option to "kibitz." Kibitzing is essentially an "Away from keyboard" or "Not competing" option. A user that is "kibitzing" can re-enter the game by selecting "Play."

Created "Games" can have several settings:

1. Category
Allows the user the choose which type of puzzle the game will focus on.
Available options are: 2x2x2 through 7x7x7, 3x3x3 OH, 3x3x3 BLD, 4x4x4 BLD, Pyraminx, Megaminx, Square-1, Skewb, and Clock.

2. Invitation
Allows user to set privacy settings. Invitation can be public or private. Private games require a user-set password for entry.

3. Requisites
Allows user to set suggested speed capabilities of those who join.
The requisite can be set to: All times, Sub 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60.

4. Introduction
A user may set a message as a description of the game, to promote inviting users to join.

==Social==
Twisttheweb has a social aspect to it. In addition to allowing competitive cubing online, twisttheweb offers an in-game chat option, as well as the ability to add other cubers as your "friend."
