Cube Timer

A speed tracker for the Rubik's Cube

Overview

This is a Rubik's Cube timer that I made with Python and PyQt to track how fast the user can solve a cube. The program also saves every past logged time in a text file with timestamps, so you can see your improvement in the long run.

Cube timer

Usage

To operate the timer, press and release the spacebar to start (time starts on release) and press the spacebar again to stop. Then you can decide whether to log the time (by pressing space), clear the time, or mark it as a DNF (did not finish: stopped the timer before the cube was completely solved).

The stats page shows statistics on the previous times in the session (from when the program is opened). The PLL tab shows some algorithms to permute the last layer of the Rubik's cube.
