cubedesu

Rubik's Cube simulator written in Rust

Features

• Simulation of an arbitrarily sized NxNxN Rubik's Cube, allowing moves with keyboard input

Usage

Build the project (optionally in release mode):

$ cargo build [--release]

Run the project:

$ cargo run

Or use the web version: https://stanleydesu.github.io/cubedesu/

Refer to keymap for controls

Project Structure

• src/lib: Cube related types, such as a Face, Move, Turn, Movement (a Move associated with a Turn)
• src/geometry_model: Geometric implementation of a cube, represented with an array of all the cube's stickers (3-dimensional points) and moves as rotations amongst some axis
• src/facelet_model: Facelet implementation of a cube, represented as an array of stickers, ordered by U, R, F, D, L, then B face
• src/vec3: Custom memory-efficient 3D vector implementation designed specifically for the geometry model

Dependencies

• Thanks to macroquad, brilliant and simple API that helped with easily rendering a cube
• Thanks to strum, facilitated parsing of strings into Moves and Turns as well as enum iteration and serialization
• Thanks to proptest, great for property-based testing
