REDI CUBE (CORNER-TURNING 3D PUZZLE) SIMULATOR AND SOLVER

Abstract

Rubik’s Cube is a widely popular mechanical puzzle that has attracted attention around the world because of its unique characteristics. As a classic brain-training toy well known to the public, Rubik’s Cube was used for scientific research and technology development by many scholars. However, Rubik’s cube is not very ideal for the people who are new in 3D puzzle because of the complex nature of Rubik’s Cube. Redi Cube is a simpler puzzle to learn and solve for people who are new in 3D puzzle, but Redi Cube are still very new in the market and not readily available thus making Rubik’s cube still the popular choice despite it is more complex to learn. This research will make an application that will teach the user to play around and solve Redi cube without needing to learn complex algorithm as in Rubik’s cube. The application will consist of a Redi Cube simulator which the corner can be turn to be play around. The application also has shuffle function, automatic solver algorithm, and timer feature to measure the time to solve the Redi Cube Puzzle.
