Cube Simulators

It's designed to be a collection of different type of cube puzzles for speed cubing via keyboard. It's based on JOGL, which is a java binding for OpenGL.

As of now, only NxNxN cubes (to be accurate, 2x2x2 up to 27x27x27) are supported.

A timer has been added which runs as the WCA regulation. You have 15 seconds to inspect the cube after scrambling, and after that you would get a +2 penalty. If the timer goes over 17 seoconds, you would get a DNF.

You can choose to do speed solving or blindfolded solving in the menu.

How to run it

There are several ways to run this game.

###Option 1: Use Eclipse

First, import/new a project from this folder.
Run oyyq.cube.simulator.Main class as an application.
Enjoy!

###Option 2: Use jdk by itself

Make sure that the gluegen-rt.jar, jogl-all.jar and CubeCalculator.jar are in the build path.
Make sure that the native libs for your platform are in the same folder of gluten-rt.jar and jogl-all.jar, respectively.
Build and run oyyq.cube.simulator.Main.
Enjoy!

Key Map

The key map is almost the same as the default of hi-games.net, as in the list and table below. Note that changing cube size has been moved to menu items with shortcuts which can still be accessed by keyboard.

Esc -> Reset the cube. When solving, give up and get a DNF.
~~- -> Decrease the cube size.~~(Moved to Menu, use Ctrl/Command + - instead.)
~~+ or = -> Increase the cube size.~~(Moved to Menu, use Ctrl/Command + = instead.)
Space -> Scramble the cube when it's not scrambled, and reset shifts when solving.

All	Of	The	Keys	That	Are	Used	In	The	Simulator
1	2	3 -> left shift outwards	4(left shift inwards)	5	6	7(right shift inwards)	8(right shift outwards)	9	0
q(z')	w(B)	e(L')	r(Lw')	t(x)	y(x)	u(Rw)	i(R)	o(B')	p(z)
a(y')	s(D)	d(L)	f(U')	g(F')	h(F)	j(U)	k(R')	l(D')	;(y)
z	x(Dw)	c(Uw')	v(Lw)	b(x')	n(x')	m(Rw')	,(Uw)	.(Dw')	/

Menu Shortcuts

Ctrl/Command + B -> toggle blindfolded mode.
Ctrl/Command + N (N from 2 to 9) -> switch to NxNxN
Ctrl/Command + -/= -> decrease/increase cube size

Known Issues

The window size could be minimized when start up. It's rare, but happens.

To Do List

Q & A

Q: When I'm trying to run it, it crashes and the console complains that it can't load library what the hell is this.

A: Make sure that gluegen-rt-natives-{your os}-{your os arch}.jar and jogl-all-natives-{your os}-{your os arch}.jar is in the classpath. For 32-bit systems the arch is normally i586, and for 64-bit systems it's usually amd64.

Q: I found a bug! When I just make a few moves from the initial state, And I just solve it (or reverse those moves), the timer just keeps silent!

A: It's DESIGNED to be. It will only time when you actually solved a cube which is scrambled by the game. :)

Q: Oh I can't turn the cube!

A: When you have finished a solve or get a DNF, you are not able to turn the cube until you reset it or scramble it again.

I referenced to this project a lot, most part of OpenGL drawing are from that, thanks to @xargsgrep a lot!
