Xrubik, X-based rubik's cube(tm)
|
|
|
|
Click on the left mouse button to move a piece. Release it on a
|
|
piece in the same row and on the face. The puzzle will then turn
|
|
towards where the mouse button was released.
|
|
Click on the middle mouse button toggle the practice mode. (This is
|
|
good for learning moves). Also 'P' or 'p' do the same thing.
|
|
One must double click on the middle mouse button if the puzzle is
|
|
being worked on.
|
|
Click on the right mouse button if you want to randomize the puzzle.
|
|
Also 'R' or 'r' do the same thing. One must double click on
|
|
the right mouse button if the puzzle is being worked on.
|
|
'I' or 'i' to increase the number of cubes.
|
|
'D' or 'd' to decrease the number of cubes.
|
|
'O' or 'o' to toggle orient mode. (I prefer the orient mode since
|
|
it is slightly more challenging).
|
|
'S', 's' to auto-solve. It only works on 1x1x1, 2x2x2, 3x3x3 cubes.
|
|
For the 3x3x3 it only solves it in the non-orient mode.
|
|
'U' or 'u' to undo last move.
|
|
'G' or 'g' to get a saved puzzle.
|
|
'W' or 'w' to write or save a puzzle.
|
|
'Q', 'q', or Control-C to kill program.

Key pad is defined for 2d rubik as:
|
|
/
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
^
|
|
4 < 5 > 6
|
|
v

|

|
|
|
|
The key pad along with the use of the mouse will allow you to move the
|
|
cube i.e.,
|
|
KP_DIVIDE=>CCW
|
|
KP_8=>Top
|
|
KP=>Left KP_5=>CW KP_6=>Right
|
|
KP_2=>Bottom
|
|
|
|
Key pad for 3d rubik, use your intuition (is this a cop out or what?).
|
|
The key pad is defined differently depending on which side of the cube
|
|
your mouse is pointing at. One thing that stays the same is KP_5=>CW.
|
|
|
|
The control key allows you to move the whole cube at once without
|
|
being entered as a move. Hold down the control key while using the
|
|
left mouse button or the keypad.
|
|
One has to orient the faces in orient mode, besides getting all the
|
|
faces to be the same color. To do this one has to get the lines to
|
|
be oriented in the same direction, this only matters with center
|
|
cubes (i.e. those cubes not on a corner or edge). This does add
|
|
complexity so there are 2 sets of records.
|
|
|
|
Try resizing the cube. Notice the puzzle resizes to take advantage
|
|
of the "room" available.
|
|
|
|
The title is in the following format (non-motif version):
|
|
xrubik{2|3}d: {1|2|3|4|5|6} @ (<Number of moves>/\
|
|
{<Record number of moves>|NEVER|PRACTICE}) - <Comment>
|
|
{2|3}: current dimensional view
|
|
{1|2|3|4|5|6}: number of cubes per edge
|
|
{<Record...}: puzzle is either in practice mode or record mode
|
|
In record mode, if there is no record of the current puzzle, it
|
|
displays "NEVER".
|
|
|
|
If you were looking for a auto-solver, sorry. One of the problems in
|
|
auto-solvers the generally don't work for different number of cuts.
|
|
If you know of one let me know. There is a real neat 3x3x3 cube called
|
|
"magiccube" with a better 3-D look, a auto-solver, and Motif. Use
|
|
"archie" to find "magiccube" at the site nearest you.
