Re: [zbmethod] Re: Group A delegation

[Gilles van den Peereboom]

As for me, I'm really pleased with the no-CP cases that already exists. As most of them consists in a combination of 2 sune (or antisune, ..), these are really fast cases.Although I usually donc like to have many cube rotations during an alg so I rewrote some of Chris' T1 cases with U or U' so that I can execute them faster (I think I'm sub-3 on all these T1 cases.)
Gilles.2005/12/14, Doug Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:




I was refering to H1 with no EP.

That is, no CP and no EP.

My current alg sucks. Help me find a better one. I'll have to post 
all of my H1 algs this weekend.

Re: [zbmethod] Re: Group A delegation

[Gilles van den Peereboom]

Ok I've added all the 3D Cubes image (16 cases in total, including the other diagon)The number of the case is not that important, but it's easier for communication. ;-)Gilles.
2005/12/13, Doug Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:




It is H-Orientation with Diagonally swapped corners.

It is a bit uncharted territory... hence it is not yet numbered. I 
was waiting for Chris to finish naming those cases. He told me he'd 
do this (all of them) over break.

Re: [zbmethod] Re: Group A delegation

[Gilles van den Peereboom]

I'm aware that I haven't listed all the cases yet but these are the only one on which I've worked on at the moment and they still need to be improved.I'll add all the images later tonight so that you can see what's left to do with this case (which H case is it ? H2 or something else ?)
And for the permutation image (not the 3D cube), do you have some sort of program or do you do them yourself in paint or something ?Thanks,Gilles.2005/12/13, Doug Lee <
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:



This site seems to be issing some cases: 
http://www.belgiancubes.be/zbll/index.html

There are typically 12 edge cases if you count mirrors and inverses. 
Give timings for these, and write them in trigger notation.

I typically avoid taking a lead role in things, but since it's beeen 
rather quite and people are itching to do work I'm going to give 
some suggestions.

Since Jason is working on T5, he could work on improving those algs 
and give us timings.

Since Chris started work on U2, that is his territory.

I have yet to get a reply about my L1 algs, I would especially 
appriciate it if DanH would give those a look since he asked about 
them a while ago. (Although I'm sure he's busy lately since he 
hasn't even posted his L1 list yet, on his site.)

I am going to post my H1 algs next.

In general look though the T-Orientation cases and see if there's a 
rather long one that can be beter executed.

If anyone has other no CP algs (that are possiblity better than what 
we already have), now is a good time to post them. I would 
especially like revised T1 and U1 algs, since those seem to be the 
slowest no CP cases..., for me at least.

If any of you want to work on unexplored territory, claim it first 
by posting here so that we don't have people working on the 
identical thing.

Collaborate, Divide and Conquer!
