Who here wants STM optimized algs? We aren't Corners First people here, I used to search only in STM on principle, but I no longer feel it holds much potential. I use it a lot for my ELL though, but that's totally different.
I think it's better to look at the output of a QTM or HTM set, and look for those that then lowest in STM. This times 3 factor is a bit daunting for the timespan I imagine. It would be great if we could get all the Acube outputs generated very early on and then have everybody filter through it. I think RULM = 431, RUF = 510, URD = 610, and general search would be enough. I have a thing for URD type ones. -Doug --- In zbmethod@yahoogroups.com, "cmhardw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah I agree, using each turn mask all the time would make this take > forever. > > For cases that are really bad I try a lot of those different turn > masks though too to try to find something. > > I wouldn't throw out RULM, or maybe I can do all the RULM searches, > since some of my best ZBLL algs use M turns in an otherwise RUL type > alg too. > > This is where we need to find out what type of turns we all like the > most, and try to accomodate everyone. > > Actualyl it will take longer for just RUL searches, but will include > RULM moves too, maybe Doug we could condense the RUL into RULM and be > left with > > RULM = 431 > RUF = 510 > URD = 610 > > The problem is I also like RULD = 630 moves and already 4 is getting > to be too much to do for every case. > > Perhaps we can restrict to the "all" general searches, and only do the > other side searches in case one of the cases we try just does not have > anything good at all.
