Movements

Uppercase

• B: Rotate the B face 90º counterclockwise.
• F: Rotate the F face 90º clockwise.
• L: Rotate the L face 90º counterclockwise.
• R: Rotate the R face 90º clockwise.
• U: Rotate the U face 90º clockwise.
• D: Rotate the D face 90º counterclockwise
• M: Rotate the middle layer parallel to the R and L faces 90º counterclockwise.
• E: Rotate the middle layer parallel to the U and D faces 90º counterclockwise.
• S: Rotate the middle layer parallel to the F and B faces 90º clockwise.

Lowercase

• b: Rotate the B face and the middle layer parallel to the F and B faces 90º counterclockwise.
• f: Rotate the F face and the middle layer parallel to the F and B faces 90º clockwise.
• l: Rotate the L face and middle layer parallel to the R and L faces 90º counterclockwise.
• r: Rotate the R face and middle layer parallel to the R and L faces 90º clockwise.
• u: Rotate the U face and middle layer parallel to the U and D faces face 90º clockwise.
• d: Rotate the D face and middle layer parallel to the U and D faces face 90º counterclockwise
• x: Rotate the cube in the X axis 90º clockwise.
• y: Rotate the cube in the Y axis 90º clockwise.
• z: Rotate the cube in the Z axis 90º clockwise.

Note

Adding 2 after the letter will make the same movement twice. So B2 is the same as doing B B.

Adding ' after the letter will make the reverse movement. So B' is the same as doing B B B.

How to Play

When you run the program it will display the original position of the cube and will ask you to introduce a movement (listed before). You can introduce more than one movement in a single turn. For example:

Introduce a movement: B2FL'R

This will do B2, F, L', R.

Note

If you introduce more than one movement in a single turn, it will directly display the cube with the respective movements applied.

Tip

To undo a movement you have to type the opposite movement in reverse.

So in order to undo B2FL'R you will have to type R'LF'B'B'.
