- Choose algorithm set to model
- win the game

Rubik's Cube Model

White = 1 Yellow = 2 Red = 3 Orange = 4 Blue = 5 Green = 6

up = [[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1]] down = [[2,2,2],[2,2,2],[2,2,2]] front = [[3,3,3],[3,3,3],[3,3,3]] back = [[4,4,4],[4,4,4],[4,4,4]] right = [[5,5,5],[5,5,5],[5,5,5]] left = [[6,6,6],[6,6,6],[6,6,6]]


Rubik's Cube Project

The goal here is to create a program that can solve a rubik's cube, and tells you the steps to solve it, if you input the placement of the colors on the cube. All of this will be done using python.

To model the cube I used a series of matrices, using the numbers 1 through 6 to represent the colors. These matrices can be seen above.

I started by buying a rubik's cube and marking each square with the number that corresponds to the space in the matrix it inhabits.

The next step was to code the different turns that someone could make the cube do, such as turning the right face clockwise or turning the front face counter-clockwise.
