Is anyone in contact with the creator of Gabbasoft?

They cannot be contacted. I tried about a year ago and got no response.

You could instead draw a blank cube template, and then fill in the colors based off of a screenshot from gabbasoft.
Or find another cube applet to use instead.

Just some suggestions; I hope you post your book (a digital copy, watermarked if you must) on the forums! I'd love to see it.

Yeah, I tried about 2 months ago and the email bounced back to me. I wanted to ask them if it was ok to use screenshots of their cubes in my book...

I don't think they'll mind, seeing as they've all but abandoned the project.

If you're really concerned, you can always use jfly, Iso, or UMC, or gelatinbrain. All of these simulators support cubes up to 7x7x7 and all have authors who are active enough to be able to respond to such a request.

If you take the image and modify it, that might be copyrighting. If you make your own cube in paint and just base it off of gabbasoft's, as far as I know you'll be fine.

Is anyone willing to PM me a copy of Gabbasoft? I know the website does not exist anymore and I deleted my copy before I liked virtual cubes. Much thanks!

qqwref,
Well, I would be glad to use another program, but the main attraction of Gabbasoft (and I think what makes their program different than the rest) is their supercubes. I don’t need that many supercube screen shots, but it is something that is absolutely necessary for some of the content.

UMC supports supercubes. There is also a version of Iso, that I can send you if you want, which does supercubes only. You may also want to use the Randelshofer applets, which will let you play with normal and super cubes of sizes 2x2 through 7x7.
