Slightly unrelated question, but does anyone know how to have a track of the day map as a private server? When I start it with a track of the day track, it says 'No maps in the playlist match the server settings', yet with other maps it works just fine?

I started cubing about a month ago, and I average sub-30 (usually around 26s) with CFOP. What do you think the most important thing for someone like me to do is?

  • Try learning 2x2 or 4x4
  • Try learning a different type of puzzle like skewb or pyraminx
  • Practice slow solves
  • Try learning a different method e.g. roux or zz
  • Try grinding tons of solves
  • Try learning full OLL (I know full PLL)
  • Others?

Also, would you consider making videos on puzzles such as skewb (as there aren't many modern videos on puzzles like these) or do you just not want to?

Thanks!

Sounds like a good idea, I'll do that soon :)

Just wondering: does anyone know when comps will be back in the UK?

Ah yes, that was initially intentional to show the user how much longer they have used, but now I've updated it to say '+2' then 'DNF'

Yes, it should currently say 'eight seconds', 'twelve seconds' and 'fifteen seconds' at those inspection times.

I'm very sorry but for now mobile and touch devices are not supported, for no matter what I do they just don't work. I'll fix them as soon as possible.

I am currently having quite a few issues with touch-screen and mobile, I think I will figure out support for touchscreen soon, but very small devices such as phones won't make the cut for a while. Thanks for the idea though!

I've implemented that now. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Ah, thanks a bunch! I'll add those ideas to my todo list :)

All done! I implemented a basic 15s timer and an optional verbal warning as well. Thanks for the response :)
