DSCube - 3D rubik's cube sim - final release

**sepro** · June 17th, 2008, 19:38

So here is the 'final' release of my 3D rubik's cube sim. The final is between quotes because I'll still fix bugs but I won't make any significant changes to the program itself.

This won't work with save files from previous releases and like previous versions it won't work with emulators for some reason. Tested on EZ-V
and DSTT.

new in this release

*ADDED A 4x4x4 VERSION
*combined DSCube with pocketCubeDS and new 4x4x4
check options menu
*removed limitation on camera movement
*lots of optimalisations under the hood mainly to speed up the 4x4x4
*added documentation

a 3x3x3 is hard enough nevermind a 4x4x4

Great job! The controls are very intuitive and the program runs flawlessly on my DS.

3x3 is easy once you can do it.

4x4 isnt that much harder, you just need to know how to get the center, which is easy, and some parity algs, not that hard.

Try turning off the animations, you should be able to do them partially. eg. R U can be done in 1 smooth movement this way. A real cube will always be faster though , can't really change that
