== Description ==
A very popular category of Rubik's cube software is the playable 3D Rubik's Cube (animated cube), often implemented as a Java applet, which has a long history. The first version of which many current programs are derived was made by Michael Shubart. After that, Karl Hornell made modifications in his version, which again was used by Lars Petrus on his website. Probably the most widely used is RubikPlayer by Werner Randelshofer.

I think the notation page should mention only basic notation ideas (like UDRBLF) and like to pages like "3x3x3 notation," "WCA notation," etc.

== Standard Cube Shaped Twistypuzzle Notation ==

While there have been many other ways to keep notation on Rubik's Cube moves, the most common method is the use of letters to represent sides or layers of the cube. The following is a list of what those letters are and what they represent. Keep in mind that all designated notations are relative to the face of the cube directly in front of you. After a cube rotation, the letters will be relative to that new side. The lowercase letter ''i'' or an apostrophe or 'prime' symbol can be used to indicate a counterclockwise rotation of the face by 45 degrees. When the letters are lowercase, that side and a certain middle slice are both moved.

'''Standard Moves'''
----
R (right side) = the right face is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (upwards relative to you)
----
L (left side) = the left face is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (downwards relative to you)
----
U (up face) = the top layer is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (left relative to you)
----
D (down face) = the bottom layer is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (right relative to you)
----
F (front face) = the front face is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (right relative to you)
----
B (back face) = the back face is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (left relative to you)
----
M (middle slice) = the middle vertical face is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (downwards relative to you, following L)
----
E (equator slice) = the middle horizontal face is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (left relative to you, following D)
----
S (back slice) = the middle horizontal back face is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (right relative to you, following F)
----
Notes that M, E, and S are considered 'slice' moves, not face moves.

'''Inverted Moves'''
Following any letter, the inverse symbol, whether it is an ''i'' or a prime symbol, will invert the move so that it goes counterclockwise instead of the usual clockwise. Therefore, the moves will be exactly opposite as they are in the Standard Moves section, i.e. R', D', F', etc.

'''Double Moves'''
Adding the number ''2'' after the letter (e.g. R2, E2, U2, etc.) will mean the rotation of that side 90 degrees, so the move will be executed twice, thus the number 2.

'''Double Standard Moves'''
Double Standard Moves are the normal Standard Moves, but with the addition of a middle layer also being moved. This is indicated by either a "w" after the letter, or the letter not being capitol, but lowercase. These moves can also be inverted:

----
Rw/r takes R and M clockwise
----
Lw/l takes L and M clockwise
----
Uw/u takes U and E clockwise
----
Dw/d takes D and E clockwise
----
Fw/f takes F and S clockwise
----
Bw/b takes B and S clockwise
----

Inversely:

----
Rw'/r' takes R and M counterclockwise
----
Lw'/l' takes L and M counterclockwise
----
Uw'/u' takes U and E counterclockwise
----
Dw'/d' takes D and E counterclockwise
----
Fw'/f' takes F and S counterclockwise
----
Bw'/b' takes B and S counterclockwise
----

M, E, and S cannot be moved doubly as the others can.

'''Many Layered Moves'''
Moving beyond 5x5x5, the above notations become inadequate, as it becomes impossible to notate the turning of the innermost layers, or any layer beyond the outermost two, and the middle slices. To notate the turning of many (more than two) layers, preface the lower case letter with the number or turned layers, or follow the w with the number of layers. Prime and two (" ' " and "2") still come at the end of the notation. Such notation can be demonstrated in the scrambles of cubes with dimensions higher than nxnxn when n = 5, in such timers as [http://www.qqtimer.net Qqtimer.net].

Inversely works just as well. Simply notate the below notations with a prime (" ' ") to make such turns counterclockwise instead of clockwise.

----
Rw3/3r takes the rightmost three layers clockwise
----
Lw3/3l takes the leftmost three layers clockwise
----
Uw3/3u takes the top three layers clockwise
----
Dw3/3d takes the bottom three layers clockwise
----
Fw3/3f takes the front three layers clockwise
----
Bw3/3b takes the back three layers clockwise
----

'''Cube Rotations'''
Besides moving face, the entire cube moving (a cube rotation) can also be written with either an x, y, or z. Often times, since they are not face rotations, they will be enclosed in parenthesis, like (x), (y), or (z) respectively. They can also be inverted the same way as face rotations: x', y' and z'.

----
x = turn the entire cube so that what is on the bottom face is now facing you
----
x' = turn the entire cube so that what is on the top face is now facing you
----
y = turn the entire cube so that what is on the right face is now facing you
----
y' = turn the entire cube so that what is on the left face is now facing you
----
z = turn the entire cube so that what is on the top face is now on the right of you
----
z' = turn the entire cube so that what is on the top face is now on the left of you
----

Oddlespuddle: edited a link again

[http://www.twisttheweb.com Twisttheweb] is a comptitive English [[List_of_web-based_software#Web-Based_Timers|Web-Based-Timer]] website created by [[Luis Javier Iáñez Pareja]]. The function of the website is to allow competitive timed cubing in an online environment.
Anonomous usage is not currently possible (As of 18-1-13), as an account is required. Requirements for creating an account include username, password, and valid email for registration. Optional account information includes gender, date of birth, country of residence and/or origin, WCA ID, and a link to a youtube video, which is suggested to be a video of the registrant while cubing. As date of birth if optional information, there is no age limit.

==Competitive==
As a competitive web based timer, the Twisttheweb allows for the creation of "games" into which others may enter, depending on the settings chosen.
A game can be started with only one person, and used as a personal timer, though such a use is not as efficient as Web-Based-Timers designed for individual use.
While in competition, a user has the option to leave, and the option to "kibitz." Kibitzing is essentially an "Away from keyboard" or "Not competing" option. A user that is "kibitzing" can re-enter the game by selecting "Play."

Created "Games" can have several settings:

1. Category
Allows the user the choose which type of puzzle the game will focus on.
Available options are: 2x2x2 through 7x7x7, 3x3x3 OH, 3x3x3 BLD, 4x4x4 BLD, Pyraminx, Megaminx, Square-1, and Clock.

2. Invitation
Allows user to set privacy settings. Invitation can be public or private. Private games require a user-set password for entry.

3. Requisites
Allows user to set suggested speed capabilities of those who join.
The requisite can be set to: All times, Sub 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60.

4. Introduction
A user may set a message as a description of the game, to promote inviting users to join.

==Social==
Twisttheweb has a social aspect to it. In addition to allowing competitive cubing online, twisttheweb offers an in-game chat option, as well as the ability to add other cubers as your "friend."

Twisttheweb

2013-01-19T02:23:56Z

Oddlespuddle: Added major information, essentially the whole page with the exception of website creator.

[http://www.twisttheweb.com Twisttheweb] is a comptitive English [[Web-Based-Timer]] website created by [[Luis Javier Iáñez Pareja]]. The function of the website is to allow competitive timed cubing in an online environment.
Anonomous usage is not currently possible (As of 18-1-13), as an account is required. Requirements for creating an account include username, password, and valid email for registration. Optional account information includes gender, date of birth, country of residence and/or origin, WCA ID, and a link to a youtube video, which is suggested to be a video of the registrant while cubing. As date of birth if optional information, there is no age limit.

==Competitive==
As a competitive web based timer, the Twisttheweb allows for the creation of "games" into which others may enter, depending on the settings chosen.
A game can be started with only one person, and used as a personal timer, though such a use is not as efficient as Web-Based-Timers designed for individual use.
While in competition, a user has the option to leave, and the option to "kibitz." Kibitzing is essentially an "Away from keyboard" or "Not competing" option. A user that is "kibitzing" can re-enter the game by selecting "Play."

Created "Games" can have several settings:

1. Category
Allows the user the choose which type of puzzle the game will focus on.
Available options are: 2x2x2 through 7x7x7, 3x3x3 OH, 3x3x3 BLD, 4x4x4 BLD, Pyraminx, Megaminx, Square-1, and Clock.

2. Invitation
Allows user to set privacy settings. Invitation can be public or private. Private games require a user-set password for entry.

3. Requisites
Allows user to set suggested speed capabilities of those who join.
The requisite can be set to: All times, Sub 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60.

4. Introduction
A user may set a message as a description of the game, to promote inviting users to join.

==Social==
Twisttheweb has a social aspect to it. In addition to allowing competitive cubing online, twisttheweb offers an in-game chat option, as well as the ability to add other cubers as your "friend."
