Hello!

Roice I challenge You to solve 4D cube 3x3x3x3 on time;-)

There was idea in the past to make some on-line contest... and I think it i=
s good time for this...

(I know that it will take some time to practice, oganize this... but after =
a month there will be summer and we could do this)


(It would be You, me and Michal and I hope someone else)

(Great Insane Trio ;D)

Of course this contest would be with macros. (It will close everything unde=
r the hour)

Michal's first attempt gave him time 38 minutes (it's way better than I had=
when I started).

What you say Roice?



---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-----------------------------------------------------

Here is big ask to Melinda and Don about making macros under windows versi=
on...(Michal and I are waiting for this for the long time).



Did you notice that for almost half a year no one new appeard in 4D hall of=
fame?

I have the sinking feeling that I am going to get crushed :) But it will b=

fun, so I am up for playing. And if there are only 3 of us, I can safely
shoot for a podium finish!

I'm not really interested in trying to get Linux installed though, so it
might have to be a contest without macros (or wait until the Windows versio=

has macros). I guess there is that Linux you can boot straight from a disk=

but my computer only has a CD drive and so I'm not sure how I would save my
log file or easily get it to the contest coordinator.

Since this is a speed cubing contest, I thought I'd suggest that it be
moderated over IM (maybe Yahoo IM?), to avoid lags that can happen with
email.

Take Care,

Roice

#)Hello!


But it will be fun, so I am up for playing. And if there are only 3 of us,
I can safely shoot for a podium finish!

#)GREAT!

I'm not really interested in trying to get Linux installed though, so it
might have to be a contest without macros (or wait until the Windows version
has macros).

#) As I say... To summer is some time... I hope that "creators" 4Dcube will
find somehow time...

I guess there is that Linux you can boot straight from a disk, but my
computer only has a CD drive and so I'm not sure how I would save my log
file or easily get it to the contest coordinator.

#) It's not so hard to save log and put it somewhere where windows will see
this... (I and Michal have problem with internet on Linux...so we have to
shut down Linux, and boot windows...)



Since this is a speed cubing contest, I thought I'd suggest that it be
moderated over IM (maybe Yahoo IM?), to avoid lags that can happen with
email.

#) It's a deatails but you have right... We could after each stage (2C ,3C,
4C) send our logs... So coordinator could see Our progress ;-)


I dream about something like:

Windows version with macros... and with on-line option, which is automaticly
sending log every 10 sec to the coordinator, who see our progress, using "%
meter" ;)

We get this data (progress of all contestensts) too because whole event is
shown on internet ;-)


Anyway it would be very nice but I know it's only dream ;-)



Take Care,

Remi

Is that acceptable to the rest of you? I'll be happy to run the contest
if so.

That is very high on my "to do" list. I am currently working on a
full-time contract but as soon as that ends it probably will not be long
before I implement macros and the solve option. I am quite motivated to
do that because I look forward to making the Linux version obsolete and
reducing our code base to a single, easily maintained cross-platform source.

Hell, we should be able to create a single chat room that everyone can
join in order to participate or just watch the fun. I'll paste in the
scrambling moves and the winner will be the first person to paste in a
set of solving moves. Participants can post updates and even share
screenshots if they like, and the rest of us can kibbitz. Some people
could even participate in secret and then surprise everyone else if they
come up with the first solution. One really neat thing is that by
turning on View->Timestamps we can also time exactly how long it takes
for each person to solve it.

Keep dreaming!!
Actually, it may even be possible for each solver to share their web cam
in the chat and we might be able to watch their screens and curse their
computers. I don't know how well that works in Yahoo chat but if you all
have web cams it would be fun to try.
