Virtual cube is something I finished a little while ago and have been revisiting every now and then, but I think it’s time to finally post it.

The application is a virtual cube (basically a Rubik’s cube). It displays a cube that the user can manipulate by rotating both the cube itself and its different levels. I have included support for different cube sizes and a few different scramble methods.

Currently the “solver,” it’s fake . It simply retraces the rotations of the user (as well as the scrambler) to return the cube to its solved state. I know someone who is making a solver that will solve any size cube (NxNxN) in Java, which I will port to ActionScript and incorporate in this application. This will also allow me to make a feature where the user can “paint” the cube by individually placing the stickers on the cube since the solver will then be able to solve a cube without needing to know the rotations it takes to get to that permutation.
