MagicCube: A NxNxN Rubik Cube implementation

A fast implementation of the Rubik Cube based in Python 3.x.

Allows creation of cubes of various sizes (2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 6x6x6, ...., 100x100x100).

Has a simple (not so efficient) solver for the 3x3x3 cube.

Installation

pip install magiccube

Usage

import magiccube

# 3x3x3 Cube
cube = magiccube.Cube(3)
print(cube)

Cube

# Rotate the cube
cube.rotate("R' L U D' F B' R' L")

# Solve the 3x3x3 cube
solver = BasicSolver(cube)
solver.solve()

# 6x6x6 Cube
cube = magiccube.Cube(6)
cube.rotate("Rw' Lw 3Uw'")

Examples

Supported Moves and Notation

Basic moves

Move
L L' Clockwise/Counterclockwise cube rotation of the LEFT face.
R R' Clockwise/Counterclockwise cube rotation of the RIGHT face.
D D' Clockwise/Counterclockwise cube rotation of the DOWN face.
U U' Clockwise/Counterclockwise cube rotation of the UP face.
F F' Clockwise/Counterclockwise cube rotation of the FRONT face.
B B' Clockwise/Counterclockwise cube rotation of the BACK face.

Advanced Moves

Move
X X' Cube rotation on X axis. X is the axis that points from LEFT to the RIGHT face.
Y Y' Cube rotation on Y axis. Y is the axis that points from DOWN to the UP face.
Z Z' Cube rotation on Z axis. Z is the axis that points from BACK to the FRONT face.
M M' Rotation of the center layer on the X axis.
E E' Rotation of the center layer on the Y axis.
S S' Rotation of the center layer on the Z axis.
Fw Fw' Wide rotation of 2 layers.
3Fw 3Fw' Wide rotation of 3 layers.
3F 3F' Rotation of the 3rd layer.

Cube Coordinates

  • Cube coordinates are expressed as a tuple of x,y,z.
  • (0,0,0) is the piece on the LEFT,DOWN,BACK corner.
  • In a 3x3x3, (2,2,2) is the piece on the RIGH,UP,FRONT corner.
