Constructor and sticker data

With no arguments, new Dodecaminx() uses size 3. Pass a number, or { size?, rand?, data? } like to set specific values.

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 Dodecaminx<T>.

const dodecaminx = new Dodecaminx({ data: () => 'custom payload' })

forEachSide(face, fn) walks every sticker on that face in block-matrix order (same as iterating the face’s BlockMatrix yourself).

dodecaminx.forEachSide('f', (sticker) => {
  console.log(sticker.data)
})

The same API exists on Cube: cube.forEachSide('u', (sticker) => { ... }) visits that face’s flat sticker list in index order.

Notation

Notation for this puzzle is similar to that of cubes, but with whole-puzzle rotations denoted by lowercase letters. Here are a few examples,

Notation	Result
U	outer layer turned once clockwise
U2	outer layer turned twice clockwise
U2-	outer layer turned twice counter-clockwise
3U	third layer turned once clockwise
Uw	second and outer layer turned once clockwise
u	entire puzzle rotated once clockwise
u2	entire puzzle rotated twice clockwise
u2-	entire puzzle rotated twice counter-clockwise
