Cube-Simulator

An OpenGL 2.1 NxNxN Cube Twisty Puzzle Simulator

Controls:

This application uses keyboard controls and is meant to feel somewhat intuitive to speed cubers who know how to touch type with a QWERTY layout keyboard.

f Rotate active top layer counter-clockwise

i Rotate active right layer clockwise
k Rotate active right layer counter-clockwise

d Rotate active left layer clockwise
e Rotate active left layer counter-clockwise

s Rotate active bottom layer clockwise
l Rotate active bottom layer counter-clockwise

w Rotate active back layer clockwise
o Rotate active back layer counter-clockwise

h Rotate active front layer clockwise
g Rotate active front layer counter-clockwise
