<Riffz> I hate talking about cycles in terms of 3 letters per piece
<Riffz> I'd actually rather we chose a simple standard lettering scheme just for discussion lol
<Riffz> I'd still find it easier to think about
<Spef> zomg
<Spef> we should
For me personally, I hate talking discussing BLD algs by typing things like ULB->FRD->LDB. It's time consuming and I often read them wrong. When posting the occasional alg, this notation is consistent and good to use, but when you're sending algs back and forth on IRC or posting a large amount of them, it's extremely annoying IMO.
Spef and I propose the following lettering scheme for cube pieces just for the sake of making discussion easier:
For any piece, start on the U face at the back left corner (for corners and x-centers) or at the back (for edges and +-centers) and work your way clockwise around that face, giving each piece a letter.
Then move to the F face and repeat, followed by the L, B, R, and D faces. The first piece on D would be DLF for corners, DF for edges.
So for corners we would have:
ULB = A
UBR = B
URF = C
UFL = D
FLU = E
FUR = F
FRD = G
FDL = H
and so on.
For edges:
UB = A
UR = B
UF = C
UL = D
FU = E
FR = F
FD = G
FL = H
And...
<Spef> just **** wings
