How to Use the Playground

  • Quick Moves: Click any button to apply that move to the cube
  • Formula Input: Enter sequences like "R U R' U'" or commutators like "[R, U]"
  • History: Undo/redo moves or jump to any point in your sequence
  • Share: Copy a URL with your current cube state and move sequence to share with others
  • Reset: Return to solved state while keeping your move history
  • Clear: Start fresh with an empty history

Key Takeaways

  • Notation -- R, U, F, L, D, B for clockwise turns; add a prime symbol for counter-clockwise (R'), or 2 for 180 degrees (R2)
  • Commutators -- use [A, B] notation to automatically expand to A B A' B'
  • History -- click any move in the history to jump to that point
  • Sharing -- the URL updates with your cube state; bookmark patterns you discover
