You may need to install one of these to build Motif version:
sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev
sudo apt-get install lesstif2-dev
Then should be a simple
configure; make
Try resizing the puzzle. Notice the puzzle resizes to take advantage of
the "room" available.
Try editing the file Rubik.ad to get a certain feature and then copying
to $(HOME)/Rubik (where Rubik is the file name) and running xrubik
again. Here you can change from the current cube (this is the kind
I grew up on) to the original cube (the one that Erno Rubik prefers).
Both types were made by the original manufacturer. There is also a
Windows port (wrubik), though not all features are included.
The auto-solver here only works for 2x2x2 and 3x3x3 (for both
non-oriented and oriented centers). One of the problems in
auto-solvers the generally do not work for different number of cuts.
If you know of one let me know.
Also a tesseract (4D cube) would be nice. (I heard a 3^N cube has been
built in software and solved!)
Personally, I have solved 1-3 using this program, 2-5 using the
physical cubes.
Refer to the man page for detailed command line options.
If you want further information on puzzles, I'll be glad :-) to send
it to you.
SOLVING THE CENTER CUBES (3x3x3, oriented mode)
1. The top and front centers are upside down
(Middle move up, top turned 180,
Middle move down, top turned 180) x 3
2. The top is down, front is correct
(Top 90, Front 180) x 30
3. Top 3 oclock, Front 9 oclock
(Front ccw, top 90 cw) x 63
4. Top 3 oclock, Front 3 oclock
(Front cw, top 90 cw) x 105
This is my own method, there are probably better ones out there but
this is pretty mindless, but can be very long.
FOUND A BUG?
Send bugs reports and fixes to the author. For bugs, please include
as much information as to their location as possible, since I may not
