Log file

In application program mode, the time taken to solve the cube from an initial Scrambled state is logged in file urvlog.txt. Entries are appended to this file if it exists. If the file is not found a new one is created. Each entry logs date, time-of-day, cube size, User Time, Processor Time, Idle Time and Total Time. The important time is the User Time, which is virtually independent of the processor speed. A limit of 100 entries has been set for the urvlog.txt file. If this limit is reached the user is advised to save the existing file under a new name so that a new urvlog.txt file can be created.

The cube size entry includes a trailing identifier that indicates whether marked centre cubies were in use. Identifier "nns" is used when the one-size-up marking of the absolute centre cubie for cubes of odd size is in use, "nnm" for all other marked centre cubie cases, and "nn " for standard unmarked centre cubie cases. In every case "nn" is a two digit decimal number (02 upwards) that indicates cube size.

No capability is provided for this function in applet program mode.
