flatRubiks

A Rubiks Cube unwrapped onto a 2D plane.

Description

Imagine taking a Rubik's Cube and unwrapping its faces from the 3D cube and spreading it out on a table. However, you can still manipulate it in the same way. That's flatRubiks!

I found coding this to be more challenging than a 3D cube would have been. Plus there are already some fantastic MATLAB 3D Rubik's Cubes out there. I also found, that solving this guy really works your brain, and is in general harder.

The zip file includes one really long m-file, and a help HTML file. I would appreciate any comments, questions!

A different view of Rubiks!! Really challenges spacial perception because of 2-D nature. I like this game!
