For speedcubers

Instructions:

0: press OK on the annoying save dialog 1: tap the screen OR press the D-Pad and a button to start (the one you use at the beginning determines what it will allow you to use later) 2: scramble the cube using the randomly generated algorithm 2.5: use the circle pad (up/down) to switch between 2x2/3x3 and 4x4/5x5 mode 2.75: press L+R to switch the save file, and enter the file number (or press back to use the default file), then press OK, etc. on the save dialogs 3: tap the screen to start the timer (time starts when you stop touching the screen) 4: solve the cube 5: touch the screen to stop the timer 6: press OK when asked to save, repeat. 6.5: if you got a +2 penalty (or want to change the time), press "NO" (or whatever it says) when asked to save, enter the additonal time, then press OK, YES, etc.

Notes:

The numbers on the bottom screen are your previous times. The grey number at the bottom of the upper screen is your average

My best time is:
ERROR

You should implement 2-button timer starting... Like press Up+A with both hands, to ready the timer, when you release the timer starts. Does this work on a 2x2? What do you mean by a +2 penalty?

im a speedcuber. this is fun to use. yet doesnt function completely as a solving timer, since defaultios point about the both hands thing makes sense.

What about using
IF BUTTON()==18 THEN BLAH
to test if your fingers are down? That means you'd have to press Down+A, so two hands are encouraged.

Yes, it works on a 2x2. However, I don't think it will work for anything more than a 3x3x3, though I'll add support for some other cubes in the next update If you stop the timer when you are one move away from solving, you are supposed to add 2 seconds to your time.

I want to allow it to detect all possible combinations of dpad and ABXY. IF (BUTTON() AND (1 OR 2 OR 4 OR 8)) && (BUTTON() AND (#A OR #B OR #X OR #Y) should work, and simplifies to: IF (BUTTON()AND 15)&&(BUTTON()AND 240) EDIT! It works! I will include this in the next update Until then, just replace the RETURN... in DEF TCHST() with
(BUTTON()AND 15)&&(BUTTON()AND  240)
I just hope pressing A and B doesn't interfere with the save dialog

Does anyone have any preference for which algorithm type I use for scrambling 4x4 and up? I think the lowercase letters (udlrfb) one would be easier, though IDK how it would work for 6x6 and up

The new update is finished! Features:
  • Multiple save files (press L+R on the scramble menu)
  • Now supports 4x4 and 5x5 rubik's cubes (use the circle pad to switch between them)
  • I probably fixed some bugs
  • You can now use the d-pad + A/B/X/Y instead of the touch screen!

What happened to this? I needed to redownload it since I got my new SD card.... sniff.

I'll reupload it when they fix gold membership
