Corner twist algorithm on alg.cubing.net

Would be interesting to know why this is even a feature, if intentional, and if not, why does this occur?

why does this occur?

its probably a glitch with 3x3s using big cube notation
like Rw=x on a 2x2
but this feels different and something unusual to witness, this does look cool tho

It's literally just 5x5 centers

What am I seeing? It is like as if a side instead of a layer is turning..

WHAT IS THIS

If you want to write babyface algs, that's up to you.

But to actually answer the question: It's not intentional, but it's been in `twisty.js` since the original code from a hackathon in 2011. It happens for exactly the reason you would think, which is that e.g. the stickers on the L face are treated as a 4th layer counting from R.

alg.cubing.net development is frozen in favor of Twizzle, so I'm not fixing anything unless a serious bug comes up. Since this only happens when you use use moves like `4R` (which are otherwise not valid), it's more of an easter egg at this point.

I figured out how to flip an edge

I love these things (and alg.cubing.net and twizzle anyway)!

(there is surely a faster way to get it, but) do you like 6 uni-colored corners on a 2x2x2?

Uhm, it's not correct for UBL and DBL corners.

EDIT: Ah, okay, I realized my mistake; you cannot color all the corners to the same... I haven't drink my coffee yet.
