Constructor and sticker data

With no arguments, new Cube() builds a 3×3. Pass a number for the size, or an object: { size?, rand?, data? }.

Each sticker exposes data. Optional data: () => T is called once per sticker whenever face matrices are created (first load and reset()); the same function is stored on puzzle.data. Without it, data is null everywhere. In TypeScript, use Cube<T>.

new Cube({ data: () => ({ id: 1 }) }).state.u[0].data // { id: 1 }

forEachSide(face, fn) runs fn on each sticker on that face in index order (e.g. 'u', 'f', …). On Dodecaminx, the same method walks the face’s block matrix in the same order as iterateBlockMatrix.

Notation

Cube's use a slightly modified WCA cube notation. It's differs for better integration with speedpuzzle.site. The notation needed to be a platform for solving, not just scrambling.

Here is a summary of the differences,

- and ' both indicate counter-clockwide turns
Omit the w suffix to annotate slice turns
Wide turns can denote puzzle rotation, for example on a 3x3 3Rw is equivalent to X

When stringifying wide turns that exceed the puzzle size, axis notation is used.

const puzzle = new Cube(3)

puzzle.stringifyTurn({
  depth: 3,
  rotation: 2,
  target: 'r',
  wide: true
}) // 'X2'
