Rubik's cube simulator and solver, IPython/Jupyter

rubik

Rubik's cube simulator and solver in Jupyter notebook

1. View the interactive Binder notebook.
2. The notebook should render on Github: cube.ipynb.
3. Use nbviewer.

Of course, forks and comments are welcome!

Setting up

Reset

position = reset_cube() will reset the cube to a completed position

Viewing

view_cube() will visualize the six sides of the cube

Rotating

RotateDown(n) will rotate the cube down, n times. The full list of rotations is below.

RotateDown(n) #rotates cube down
RotateRight(n) #rotates cube right
RotateCC(n) #rotates cube counter-clockwise

Playing with the cube

Moves

LU_Move.run(n) will execute the "Left-Up" move, n times. The list of moves is below.

LU_Move.run(n) #Left-Up
MU_Move.run(n) #Middle-Up
RU_Move.run(n) #Right-Up
TL_Move.run(n) #Top-Left
ML_Move.run(n) #Middle-Left
BL_Move.run(n) #Bottom-Left
RLU_Move.run(n) #Right Face, Left-Up (sometimes called Front-Left)
RMU_Move.run(n) #Right Face, Middle-Up 
RRU_Move.run(n) #Right Face, Right-Up (sometimes called Back-Left)

Mixing

mixup(n) will make n random moves on the cube, "mixing it up"

This is a fork of https://github.com/marwahaha/rubik with the solving code removed to make it a fresh challenge. Good luck!
