Have a look at visualcube.

Have a look at visualcube.

Thank you very much!

Does anyone know a good programme to generate algorithms with? I use Cube Explorer, the 2-gen ones are very fast but the rest takes quite a long time. It would be okay if it was a small subset, but I am generating a very large number of algorithms and was wondering if there was any more efficient method.

The other option is ksolve+. But it's generalised for other puzzles so it's slower than cube explorer. Honestly, cube explorer is the fastest by quite a bit.

If you are looking for all algs in a specific subset, another option is to generate all algs for the subset at once, but I find that a pain because the easy cases completely dominate the hard cases so it's a pain to sort through them.

Also, if you aren't already, try limiting to nice 3-gen sets like RUD or RUF to speed up the search.

I have been mainly limiting it to RULD for my alg search and that seems to make it faster. But I don't want to end up with bad algs so I have been letting it go to 2-3 moves above the optimal solution.

Thank you for the response.

How can I get CubeExplorer to limit the search to LUD algs?

Do a y2 before generating, and then generate RUD only. After you've generated the algs, you can swap each R with an L, R' with an L' and R2 with L2.

How do I change the color scheme of qqtimer? I've seen people using black in videos but I don't see any options anywhere? This is what I see: and it really hurts my eyes. I want black. Thanks in advance.

Click on "show" right above "ready".

Have a look at visualcube.

Hello!

Visualcube is great, but seems to only be for creating static image files.

I would like to create 3D pics that can be moved and show algs being performed, like the ones here: http://cube.crider.co.uk/miris.html

Any suggestions?

Thanks @AlphaSheep

Where can I find an optimal EOline solver and EOline+1 / XEOline solver?

 

[pipkiksass]

I considered posting this in One Answer Question Software, but it's really a matter that's likely to be open for debate, so...

I've been away from cubing for about 12 months and, before going dark, had an Android phone. I've decided to make the effort to start cubing again, and now have an iPhone (for my sins).

I've been in the app store, and all of the timers look average and similar. Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent iOS timer? Doesn't need algs and stuff, but I like analysis and stats, so that would be a bonus.

Most of the app store reviews say useful things like "this allows me to time solving my cube". Great. Thanks for that! Thought I might get more useful feedback here.

TIA.

[edit: looks like it got moved anyway!]

Hi,

I am looking for a 4x4 and 5x5 Rubik's Cube Solvers, like this: https://rubiks-cube-solver.com/ but for 4x4 and 5x5 Cubes.

Thanks!

 

[zipper]

it's easier to learn how to solve the cube than using this!

 

[ch_ts]

There aren't any. I'm not aware of any online big cube solvers similar to that
