New free program - Virtual Rubik's Cube

[AlexGeorg]

Please try out new free program - high-quality Virtual Rubik's Cube.
This is not ordinary Rubik's Cube simulator.
The program has the remarkable possibility:
dimension from 2x2x2 up to ....(maximal size limited of the RAM of your computer only),
scramble length from 12 up 250, full Undo - Redo support, all custom options, you can even save your Cube in file, etc.

Also there is unique feature: you can write a script that defines rotations of layers of Rubik's Cube - It is really fun!
I think it will be very interesting for all on this forum.
Please see video on Youtube "How to write scripts for Virtual Rubik's Cube - Quick tutorial":

nice but change the scheme to normal.

 

[AlexGeorg]

You can change the color scheme yourself, all your settings will be automatically saved in the registry.

this makes me realise that qcube needs macro support

This will never happen, intentionally. You are free to program in macros on your own personal version (as Dan Cohen did when he made all the PLLs).

Do you dislike the idea or something?

I'm interested to see how stupidfast solves can get with macros.

Yes, that's exactly it. IMO the point of a twisty puzzle is that you have a specific limited number of moves available and you have to think in terms of those moves. Adding macros that can be executed all at once essentially adds a basic move. Using it only for PLLs and parities may seem relatively innocent, but if you have one for "flip one edge" or "twist two corners" you can start to use it cleverly and essentially build your solving method around the existence of those macros. So, if you ask me, having a macro available means you're not really solving the same puzzle anymore.
