Translation from alg.garron.us to alg.garron.net #32

Open lgarron opened 10 years ago

lgarron commented 10 years ago

In particular:

convert URL parameter names
Translate any WCA algs into SiGN
- I want to keep alg.cubing.net SiGN-only, to encourage standardization. In order to enable this, the implementation of sign_w allows Rw as an alias for r. I'm comfortable with supporting this variant of SiGN indefinitely.

I don't know if you have done anything with this, but I could set up a simple Javascript/PHP form that could convert it. It should be a simple replace, so it shouldn't be too hard

lgarron commented 10 years ago

It's not obvious, but it's actually not a simple replace (in particular, I need to do semantic translation of WCA algs, else eve2Ry r in a comment tu2Rns into 2R, and 3r turns into 32r).

In any case, I've got a local branch to convert URLs robustly and automatically.

Also, see the View at alg.cubing.net button at alg.garron.us. Eventually, that will be an automatic client-side redirect.

(Time flies! Apparently I put it there over a month ago: May 27.)
