From now on, whenever something big changes, we will tell you about it here. Here is a big batch to start with.
The app: 1.6 for iPhone and Android
- Group rooms. Open a room, send your friends the code and race round after round on the same scramble. Some can play on a phone, some at cubersden.com.
- Smart cube and GAN Smart Timer everywhere. They now work in duels, rooms, drills and the trainer. In a room you connect them before you press “I'm ready”.
- Every solve opens. Tap a best or an average to see its solves with moves and TPS.
- Progress on your profile. A chart of your times and a calendar of the days you cubed.
- Times without the dot. Type 2324 and it saves 23.24, just like csTimer.
- New languages. The app now speaks Spanish and Chinese too.
The update is in the stores now: App Store, Google Play.
New on the website: muscle memory
You know the feeling: you know a PLL, but your hands still have to think. Doing it over and over is what helps most, and now CubersDen counts it for you.
- Connect your smart cube (the button in the site header).
- Open any PLL, for example T perm, and click “Drill this case”.
- Pick “Muscle memory”.
- Do the algorithm again and again. Your first turn starts the clock, the whole algorithm stops it. Every rep gets a time and TPS.
Made a wrong turn? The page shows you which one and how to undo it. That rep doesn't count, so your times stay honest. Every rep is kept in the case's history with a chart, so you can watch yourself get faster day after day.
It works for OLL, F2L and ZBLL too, not only PLL. You can also hide the algorithm and check whether you know it without help.
Happy cubing! If something doesn't work or you have an idea, tell us.
