Pretty Patterns

Rubik's Cube Pons 
    AsinorumBrowse this huge collection of pretty patterns by Walter Randelshofer.

The collection features over 1,700 patterns for all Rubik's Cube models ranging from 2x2x2 cubes up to 7x7x7 cubes.

Most scripts are optimized for the face turn metric (f) and the quarter turn metric (q). Move counts which are optimal in a given metric are marked with an asterisk.

I would like to thank Tomas Rokicki for running all the scripts through his amazing solver.

Virtual Cubes

Disassembled Rubik's CubeMy collection of virtual cubes demonstrate how the Rubik's Cube and a bunch of other cube models work. Many of the cube designs have been developed in cooporation with André Boulouard.

You can rotate them, twist them, take them apart and put them together again! See how the individual parts of the cube are joint together and how they are affected by twists.
