How do you have the cube as an image after using visual cube? I right click and there is no option. Have to screenshot?

You need to put "fmt=png". It's normally at svg, which is why you can't drag it to your desktop

Will have to try on my laptop as just changed it to png and when I returned the search it came up blank

Can you give me the link you're using to generate your image?

Hm, weird. It works just fine for me with that link

Doesn't work for me, though (desktop Firefox). The response from the server is literally zero bytes.

(I think the hosted version of VisualCube at cube.crider.co.uk doesn't support GIF/PNG output at all, but it's not like there's any modern (= after 2015) software that can't handle SVG anyway.)

Weird, outputs the correct image with me being able to drag it to desktop fine(Mac desktop w/ safari). I'll try on Firefox

Edit: Works for Firefox as well

I don't know how it's working for you, because it's really not working for me.

Maybe you're on a different OS? I'm running MacOS

@Ben Whitmore, Ksolve++ rU def file still does not work after the name changes. Is there something else I could try, or is there any more info I can send you?

 

[N's-cvt]

Ksolve+ question, Why do I get this error when I try using a forbidden pair in the def file
ForbiddenPairs
U M'
End
="Move U used in forbidden pairs is not previously declared."
Even though it uses U moves in the generated algs with the same definition and I declared what move U is??

 

[Ben Whitmore]

@Ben Whitmore, Ksolve++ rU def file still does not work after the name changes.

It works for me, so you are doing something wrong.

Is there something else I could try, or is there any more info I can send you?

Of course, how about the error message?

I'll just show you what I got

Error
After it says "dissalowing 0 genreators" it crashes ksolve++.exe

 

[Ben Whitmore]

@N's-cvt That def file works for me. Is there maybe a space or some invisible character at the end of one of the lines in your def file? Does the code generation work if you run ksolve++ online here?

 

[N's-cvt]

@Ben Whitmore , I went through and found a space after my solved edges (didn't know Ksolve was so sensitive) and now it works however it keeps scrolling through the nodes without finding any algs, so I tested the same scramble and def on the website and Ksolve+ and they were able to find 16 and 17 depth algs but Ksolve++ doesn't find anything. Can you share a pic of some of the algs you were able to find?

I don't know why it doesn't work. Try my <r,U> def, here

Use this scramble file:

Scramble s
corners
1 2 3 4 5 6
edges
2 4 3 1 5 6 7 8 9
centers
1
End

What algs did you find at depth 16? The optimal should be 17.

 

[N's-cvt]

my bad, I had a different U-perm than the 2 4 3 1 case so it was giving me 16's.
I don't know why but it your def/scramble works however it doesn't shows me/create any algs (see below)
Can you direct me to where you downloaded your executable maybe it will work differently than mine

 

[N's-cvt]

Doe someone know where I can go to download the latest version of Acube?

What if you just run the compiled program directly instead of from ksolve++? Just run 3x3_rU "3 3 3rU scramble.txt", or run 3x3_rU and type in the scramble

 

[N's-cvt]

Tried it and it could not open the scramble file
Also, do you know where I can download the latest version of Acube?
