Small Rubik's Cube application, with goal to practice Qt framework and CMake. Rainbow Cube can be used to turn Rubik's Cube faces.
Requirements:
- CMake 3.20 or later
- Qt 6
Run application with CMake or Qt Creator.
Application shows Rubik's Cube faces. Faces have following orientation:
up
left front right back
down
Application menu contains six buttons, one for each face. They can be used to rotate faces clockwise.
Application uses Qt widgets which are located in src/app.
Rubik's cube is located in src/cube. Cube object has to be created with CubeBuilder to connect face rotations to each other.
Directory tests/cube contains tests for cube. For example it generates Superflip with cube moves and checks if cube state is correct.
Cube object consist six face objects, each with nine colors. Center color of face is stored separately. Rest of eight colors are stored in one dimensional array in clockwise order:
clockwise rotation:
0 1 2 6 7 0
7 3 => 5 1
6 5 4 4 3 2
This solution makes rotation of faces easy, shifting indices by two.
