This is a Rubik's cube implementation in PICO-8 fantasy console

You can solve from a 1x1x1 cube up to 10x10x10 Rubik's cube

It's very customizable and CPU efficient too!



HOW TO PLAY

PRESS P TO PAUSE THE GAME and see other options like go back to the main menu, save the state of the game or even reset the cube.


O
RIENTATION: -90º IS COUNTER CLOCKWISE, +90º IS CLOCKWISE


Also, YOU CAN'T MOVE THE PIECES OF THE CUBE in the direction you want IF THE  ICON APPEARS on the screen.

This happens because the game needs to see some face of the cube in order to rotate the pieces in the desired direction.


TIP: PUT THE CAMERA WHERE YOU CAN SEE 3 FACES AT ONCE TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM



HOW DO I SOLVE THE CUBE?

The main goal is solve the cube. This means that every face has only one colour. If you don't know how to solve the cube, try following the beginner's solution.


TIP: PAUSE THE GAME AND SAVE THE CUBE STATE TO AVOID LOSING ANY PROGRESS!

Thanks to Trasevol_dog(Rémy Devaux), Shiftalow, Nerdy Teachers, freds72, drakeblue, mboffin (Dylan Bennett), saint_modo, johanvinet, Gladios 7 and Chacochilla for their code routines and/or pixelart.

I founded most of the code routines in saint_modo's Rubik's cube post on the Lexaloffle forum, but also I had to find some others like the quad rasterizer from Trasevol_dog Freds72.
