So, how are reconstructions discovered?

[McubeS]

Just another thing that had me thinking...

Is it possible to find reconstructions of say, a walk-through solve?

In other words, can you simply figure out a scramble from a Youtube video without the creator making it?

??? Yeah, you just reverse the solution.

Oh.
That was simpler than I thought.

Cube explorer

Mind giving a quick demonstration? with pictures and stuff?

1.draw the faces of the cube
2.click add and solve
3.reverse the solution to get scramble
4.enjoy

Enter colours into Cube Explorer, hit the "Add and Generate" button.

There's this link where @Brest explains his process but it's quite old so maybe he has improved it?

A couple of things I can think of to improve on that comment:

• You can now use alg.cubing.net instead of alg.garron.us
• alg.cubing.net also has a feature where you can end with the cube being solved, i.e. there's no need to generate a scramble unless you plan on looking at the solution on a real cube. Where it initially says "Moves" in the settings, change it to "Reconstruction (no scramble)".
• You can now go back/foward one frame at a time on YouTube (using , and .)
• Scrambles for official comps are available on wcadb.net
