Hello everyone. This is a video of the 3x3x3 Simulator I am programming. It is in it's very early stages.

So there are 3 working modes, Keyboard, Typing, and Random. Mouse and Sequencer don't work because I haven't programmed them yet.
Keyboard turns your keyboard into a map of every possible basic move (no Wide turns, no M S or E turns) in which every key on the middle row does clockwise of every turn, every move on the upper row does every turn counter clockwise, and the lower row does all 180 degree turns.
Typing let's you manually enter the move you would like to do. So if you wanted to do a D' you would type in D'. It can handle multiple moves before inputing it, but each move must be separated by a space.
Random just randomly scrambles the cube with no bias to any one move. Some ideas here of ways to make this mode more interesting (such as controlled random moves, like setting it to <R, U, L> instead of all of the moves.)
Mouse lets you drag certain sides of the cube around, but it doesn't work yet.
Sequence will be very interesting, it lets you type in a set of moves and you can repeat the sequence X amount of times to explore things. I will have many things in here, like setting up inverses and multiple sequences. This could be good for commutators. Does not work yet either.
If anyone has any ideas for new modes please let me know and I will attempt to code it in.
The language I am using is Dark Basic.
There currently is no download for it yet, but if enough people want to try this extremely young version, I can put one up.
