PLL stands for Permutation of the Last Layer, the last step of Fridrich (CFOP) method for solving Rubik's cube. This Groovy script will help you to train how to solve PLLs. It will allows you to generate a scramble which will lead you to a random PLL case.
You must have Java and Groovy installed. This has been tested with Java 8 and Groovy 2.4.X
$ groovy pll_trainer.groovy
Next PLL scramble:
F R' F' R U R U' R' F R U' R' U R U R' F' U2
Use [ENTER] to reveal PLL or [CTRL-C] to quit
The PLL was : T
-------------------------------------------------
Next PLL scramble:
R' D' R U' R' D R U R' D' R U2 R' D R U' R' D' R U R' D R U2
Use [ENTER] to reveal PLL
If you want to train only with a specific set of PLLs, you can add the following argument:
$ groovy pll_trainer.groovy -i Ga,Gb,Gc,Gd
Next PLL scramble:
R' U2 R U' F R U R' U' R' F' U' R U R U' R'
Use [ENTER] to reveal PLL or [CTRL-C] to quit
The PLL was : Ga
If you want to remove a specific set of PLLs, you can add the following argument:
$ groovy pll_trainer.groovy -e Na,Nb
Next PLL scramble:
R' U2 R U' F R U R' U' R' F' U' R U R U' R'
Use [ENTER] to reveal PLL or [CTRL-C] to quit
The PLL was : Ga
If you want to add a timer to track your PLLs solve time, you can add the -t option like this:
$ groovy pll_trainer.groovy -t
Next PLL scramble:
B2 U2 B' U2 B2 U2 F2 D2 B' D2 F2 U'
Use [ENTER] to START / STOP timer or [CTRL-C] to quit
2,571 s
The PLL was : H
