Maybe I'm the wrong target audience.
I spent some time last summer figuring out 2x2 and 3x3 from scratch, without referring to any existing literature, methods, etc.
That worked but solving a 3x3 is in the 2-3 minute range. FAR from speed cubing.
OK. Now I'm interested in getting into speed cubing. The Trainer shows like 12 systems with no descriptions/trade-offs/recommendations ... how they are related ... best order to learn them if learning several... etc. Those points would be SUPER handy.
Anyway... The rest looks good and I'll definitely play with it.
- kashnote 4y agoYou're right, it's not really beginner friendly. I want to improve upon that in the coming months. But for now, there are tons of cubing-related resources online nowadays. For 99% of cubers, you want to focus on OLL and PLL algorithms.
- jokethrowaway 4y agoIt's mostly memorising. I memorised a few basic algorithms a few years ago and practiced getting faster. Then you basically add algorithms to take shortcuts and improve your hand speed. I never got good times (maybe around 1m?) but it gradually lost appeal after a while. Nowadays I probably would get stuck trying to fix the last 4 corners. I'd like to get back into it one day and learn some very generic algorithms to just be able to transition between states, without the explicit goal of solving the cube fast.
