[Release] Rubik's Cube

[EXTER]

The Rubik's Cube is a 3D mechanical puzzle invented in Ernő Rubik. In a classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces is covered by 9 stickers, among six solid colors (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow). A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colors. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a solid color.

The controls in this homebrew are designed to easily perform "Move notation" algorithms.

From the Readme:

PSP Rubik's Cube v1.3 by EXTER.

Controls:
R: Front move.
Sqaure: Left move.
Circle: Right move.
Triangle: Up move.
Cross: Down move.
Left: Rotate cube left.
Right: Rotate cube right.
Up: Rotate cube up.
Down: Rotate cube down.
L + Up: Back Move.
L + Down: Back Inverted Move.
L + Left: Rotate cube clockwise.
L + Right: Rotate cube counter-clockwise.
L + R: Front Inverted move.
L + Sqaure: Left Inverted move.
L + Circle: Right Inverted move.
L + Triangle: Up Inverted move.
L + X: Down Inverted move.
Select: Undo move.

Hold Start for 3 seconds to scramble the cube (resets the move counter).

Hold L + Start for 3 seconds to solve the cube (resets the move counter).

Use the analog stick to peek at the sides of the cube.


Notes:
The cube state and move count are automatically saved on exit, then loaded when the game is run.

Tested on 5.00 M33-6, but it should work on any homebrew-enabled firmware.

Wow, this is pretty nice. Although I haven't been able to solve one of these ever! The one thing it is missing is the ability to rotate the center column.

That's because, when solving it, you're not supposed to rotate it. Well, it's not needed to anyways.

i solved a rubik's cube many of times, and there is never a need to rotate the middle column..

Really is there a method that you follow, some kind of procedure?

Yes there's a couple of ways to solve them they use algorithms.

Here's where i learned: Youtube
