Introduction
csTimer is a professional timing program designed for Rubik's cube speedsolvers, it provides:
- Amounts of scramble algorithms, including all WCA official events, varieties of twisty puzzles, training scramble for specific sub steps (e.g. F2L, OLL, PLL, ZBLL, and can filter cases), etc
- Plenty of statistics functions, it supports time-split timing; Any number of sessions, session split/merge, etc.
- Varieties of solver, such as Cross, Xcross, 2x2x2 face, Skewb Face, SQ1 shape, for learning or training these sub steps.
- Other auxiliary tools, such as scramble image, 8-second inspection (voice) alert, metronome, batch-scramble generator, etc.
- Backup function, For avoiding data missing, you can backup your solves to local files, csTimer's server or Google storage.
csTimer supports most of modern desktop browsers, on mobile phone and tablet PC, you can add csTimer to your home screen, and it will work as a native APP.
csTimer takes advantage of browser cache, which consumes traffic only when you open it for the first time, after that, csTimer is able to work without network connection (except for functions like backup)

- Tenir la barre d'espace appuyée pendant (en secondes). How long the space bar should be held before the timer turns green.
- Multi-phase. Number of phases, press any key to mark a split point when timing.
- Utiliser les informations sur l'état du stackmat. Stackmat will report its state, e.g. whether left or right area is touched, then csTimer is able to use these information, however, the data error might occur and cause unexpected behavior.
- Taille du mélange. Size of the scramble text.
- Taille du mélange automatique. The size of the scramble text will be automatically adjusted by the length of the scramble, which works with together previous option.
