rubiksCubeCode

A Processing.py sketch that visualizes, then (hopefully) solves a 3x3x3 Rubiks Cube.

Goals

The Goals Of This Program Are To:

• visualize a rubiks cube
• move according to user inputs
• track/retrieve current state of the cube using a 3-D array
• generate and apply a random scramble
• have every single, double, and cube rotation move available
• be able to detect if:
  • the cube is solved
  • the cross is solved
  • f2l is solved
  • OLL is solved
• be able to solve the cube consistantly
• export a string containing the scramble and solve moveset
• improve efficiency of solves
• reduce the number of moves by:
  • making the code color neutral, and picking a good cross to solve with
  • looking for ideal/easier f2l pairs to complete first
  • eliminating unnessasary moves that keep a pair or cross intact even when there isn't one
  • implementing Valk Last Slot (this is over 200 algs so this would take a long time)
• reduce the time to solve by:
  • taking unnessasary code out of the draw() function
  • eliminating variables that are unused or can be implemented better
  • adding a quick solve or lowest move option to change between different methods
• link the Cube array to the visuals so you can directly map things to the visual cube
• take the scramble and solve moveset and apply it to a real life cube
• implement cameras to sense color to solve the cube from any state
• a very long term goal is to see how Deep Learning reacts to solving the cube
