It's now almost 10 years since the method was proposed, thanks all for your feedback 👍 Here is an informal video tutorial for it: (apologies for the background noise!)

Apologies, I recently migrated the service to a new provider and some teething problems remained. It should now be back up and running. Happy (visual) cubing.

Hi a_cuber, I've added a more complete example on the API page here: http://cube.rider.biz/twistysim.html Hope it helps.

Hi BirdOfChaos, welcome to SpeedSolving community. Glad you managed to get back into cubing with MirIS. The '3 slots' step of MirIS is basically a restricted version of the F2L step in CFOP. If you use the technique to fill up 4 slots instead of 3 you are onto a normal CFOP last layer. To...

Due to popular request I've added a 'censored' version of the tutorial that replaces the word 'sexy' with 'super'. Get it here: http://cube.crider.co.uk/miris.html#super

Hi bcube, most of the issues you've mentioned above are now fixed. Get the latest version at cube.crider.co.uk/twistysim/demo.html

Hi AceZephyr, good spot! This is now fixed in the latest version (v1.5.5). Thanks.

Hi Whurm, great work volunteering at the nursing home - I'm sure they really appreciate it. The alignment step is probably the most difficult to understand conceptually, since (in the adjacent case) you have to understand exactly which two edges are permuted correctly. For those familiar with...

Latest version of the TwistySim API, along with documentation/examples has been posted here: http://cube.crider.co.uk/twistysim.html

Hi ruwix, thanks for pointing that out. I've built a new version that has a bunch of improvements, and this fix. It is available here: http://cube.crider.co.uk/twistysim.html I'll write up an API when I have time. In the mean time have a look at these pages for some idea of how to use it in...

The tutorial on the site has been more carefully authored so I recommend following that one. If the steps here are followed as a sequence the step 2c still works. It sets up the corner so that the white sticker is not on top, making it solvable in the next step (2c).

First ever sub15 avg of 5, after a 4 year break.

@bcube we have finally completed the algorithm/playback button feature. A basic example of its use can be found on the MirIS tutorial here. And a more advanced example can be found on the ZZ tutorial here. When I have more time I'll post a detailed API here.

Tips for improving speed/efficiency and transition to speed solving These steps are roughly ordered by difficulty: Improve speed/efficiency when solving C+E pairs: - When lifting a corner from an incorrect slot to the top layer, turn cube so that the white sticker is facing you and apply...

Thanks for the pointers. I've updated the tutorial to fix these issues, and also added some more explanation of the steps.
