Hey Remi,

Pink, Purple, and Violet were the ones that screwed me up too! I tried
to make the colors distinct, but that is sort of difficult since we need 10=
,
and I'm sure it could be better. What we can do is add this to the setting=
s
file so that you can change it to your personal preference. I'm heading ou=
t
of town this weekend though, so unfortunately you will be stuck with the
current colors for a little longer :(

I really like your idea for a % completed meter. We could also perhaps bas=
e
it on solved cubies vs. solved stickers, but either way would give a good
impression of overall progress and be motivation to keep going. Actually, =
I
think I like your solved stickers suggestion better. Although you get an
inflated % for cubies that aren't solved but have 1 or more stickers on the
correct face, it might be a better impression of overall progress by
giving more weight to 5-colored cubies than 2-colored ones, which I think i=
s
appropriate. I guess it is a little weird that you would likely start off
with the meter around 10% complete, but you could argue the meter generated
by counting cubies should start off around 5% anyway (if your counting
included 0-colored and 1-colored cubies)...

Hello!

I've finished 3C stage..=
. (now only 4C and 5C :-)))


Roice and Charlie you must change pi=
nk color! There are two too much similiar colors (Maybe it's only me but it=
is very hard to find difference between them..=20


(I also ask about 2^5 cube ;-) (I don't think that 4^5 is needed...=
Really...Ok, let's say for now ;-)))))))))))

Another thing is =
to put visible counter of twists in program and the "% meter" to =
show how much we solved (It would help to show for example that we messed u=
p something without noticing).=20


It should be easy:

for example we take solution log:
