rubiks: Programs for Rubik’s cube¶
Description¶
There are several programs for working with Rubik’s cubes, by three different people. Look inside the directories under /src to see specific info and licensing. In summary the three contributers are:
Michael Reid (GPL) http://www.cflmath.com/~reid/Rubik/optimal_solver.html
optimal - uses many pre-computed tables to find an optimal solution to the 3x3x3 Rubik’s cube
Dik T. Winter (MIT License)
cube - uses Kociemba’s algorithm to iteratively find a short solution to the 3x3x3 Rubik’s cube
size222 - solves a 2x2x2 Rubik’s cube
Eric Dietz (GPL) https://web.archive.org/web/20121212175710/http://www.wrongway.org/?rubiksource
cu2 - A fast, non-optimal 2x2x2 solver
cubex - A fast, non-optimal 3x3x3 solver
mcube - A fast, non-optimal 4x4x4 solver
Type¶
optional
Equivalent System Packages¶
arch:
$ sudo pacman -S rubiks
conda:
$ conda install rubiks
nix:
$ nix-env --install rubiks
See https://repology.org/project/rubiks/versions
However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage because spkg-configure.m4 has not been written for this package; see https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27330
