How to Create Rubik's Cube Algorithms Using Cube Explorer

[Oecleus]

Very useful, thanks for the upload.

[HaloMice]

this can help me solve my cube! YEAY

[rploeger]

nice, but can it do other cubes too? like 2x2 and square-1

[topjimmy999]

@rploeger No, I don't think so

[skatercuber4life]

@rploeger yea a 2x2 if u blanked out all the edges.

[ThomasMR1]

@rploeger a 2*2 is the same as a 3*3, where you just have to solve the corners, use the program without looking at the edges

[bommobiel]

@rploeger maybe 2x2, since it´s just like the rubiks cube but it only has corners peaces. So you can just leave everything except the corners grey.

[faristhe123456789]

@rploeger you can do 2x2 if you only do the corners of the 3x3 :)

when i click on add and solve, it goes straight into the window on the left, and so i dont get a chance to make it a 2gen or anything?

[topjimmy999]

@wanabejoey You have to leave at least one piece, for example both sides of the white/red edge piece, grey'd out in order to get the multiple alg window when solving. If the cube is fully defined (no grey) then you will only get one alg in the main window.

Can I use this to help me solve my cube?

[topjimmy999]

Yes, you can.

AWESOME!

That was a really neat video. I have a question. How would I find a algorithm that just orientates the top edges? I use a kind of low-level method where I solve the top by:

1)Orienting the edges

2)Permutating the corners

3)Permutating the edges

I'd appreciatate it if you could tell me how to find algorithms that just orient or permutate certain parts of the cube.

[topjimmy999]

Unfortunately, Cube Explorer is only geared to take the cube from one state to a fully solved state. So you have to be creative when using it to discover other algorithms. You need to use the ability to undefine (right-click to grey out) certain cubes. The comment space is not big enough to address all of these potentials. Follow the instructions in the video - it just takes practice.

Please refer any other questions to my mail. Thanks and good luck.

CAN I GET THAT FOR MAC ? I REALLY WANT IT

[topjimmy999]

I don't see a mac version there. Says it needs Winblows.

[Iglitchlife]

winblows lol

[joshuaat7]

is it for mac to

Another question: I downloaded and its AWESOME !!!!!! but when I try to find the solution for the T-perm ( example ) I want alot of algorithms not the optimal solution, what do I do ?

[topjimmy999]

Try leaving one piece, for example both sides of the white/red edge piece, grey'd out in order to get the multiple alg window when solving. If the cube is fully defined (no grey) then you will only get one alg in the main window. To grey out a square, right click it.

[Quagom]

Thanks, you helped me alot =)

Is it free ? How much RAM do you need ?

[topjimmy999]

yes it's free. doesn't take much ram. See system requirements at download site. Good luck.

[Quagom]

one more question: It says it needs 128 ram and below say he has a special version that needs like 2gb ram and below of them says "Download from rapidshare " How do I know im downloadin the standart version ( 128 ram ) ?

[topjimmy999]

What he's calling two versions is really just one piece of software with the special feature built in. So it's really just one program, you can turn On or Off the "Huge Optimal Solver" in the menu. The Huge Optimal Solver is what requires 2mb. In fact, if you have less than 2mb it won't even allow you to select that option so there's nothing to worry about. Just download the program and it should work.

[Quagom]

Thanks, just downloaded, AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!! =)

just downloaded..Thanks

[secretariadespeed67]

My rogramme is more better than yourself.

[ThaZwede]

What?? And what's that??

[MeMyselfAndPi]

Neat program. I'm gonna try it out.

Also, what video screen capture program did you use to film this video?

[topjimmy999]

I used CamStudio version 2. Good luck :)

[MeMyselfAndPi]

Okay, thanks!

[ScottKidder11]

Great video man, thanks for the help

How do you make the algs pop up in a separate window, because mine come up in the main window by default

[topjimmy999]

As long as the cube is fully defined (no greyed out squares) then you will only get one algorithm and it will be in the main window. Try greying out both colors of one edge piece, such as the white/red edge piece. Click add and solve again and you should get the separate window with multiple algs.

[nasageek]

ah, cool, thanks for the help
