IsoCubeSim

IsoCubeSim is my cuboid (LxMxN) simulator, but I've made a few variations which do other things. It was specifically designed to be used for computer speedcubing - before the era of more complex keyboard-controlled cube sims, many of the world speed records were set on this program. Here are the basic controls and features:

• Play with any size cube or cuboid from 1x1x2 to 20x20x20 and bigger - use +/- to change the size of each axis, or click on the white boxes to change one axis at a time.
• Click and drag a sticker to do a move, but unlike some other simulators, Iso will detect even very small drags.
• Hold Shift to do a half turn, and Ctrl to do a rotation. Scramble with s and restore the puzzle again with r.

IsoCubeSim is distributed as a self-executable .jar file. You should be able to run it like an application, if you have Java installed. Because a certain browser doesn't handle .jar files correctly, I've included each one in a .zip file. Here are the versions available for download:

• IsoCubeSim (version 4.1) - the original, now with supercubes (older versions: 4.0, 3.0, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, 2.0, 1.3, supercube versions: 2.2, 2.0, 1.3)
• IsoILLusionSim - simulates the V-cube "ILLusion" puzzle on odd NxNxN cubes - the even ones are iffy
• CircleCubeSim - simulates a version of the odd Circle Cube puzzles; try to imagine the outer layer as the 'shell' and the rest as centers
• IsoMinxSim (version 4.0) - megaminx, gigaminx, and so on, plus saving/loading and zoom. There is also an old version with keyboard controls.

IsoCubeSim v4.1 has the following changes:

• Bug fixes: prevented movecount race condition; fixed wide moves in reconstructions

IsoCubeSim v4.0 has the following changes:

• Control enhancements: right click for half turn, middle click for rotation, mouse wheel and shift + mouse wheel to scroll
• Automatically writes info about all solves (including reconstruction and statistics) to a log file
• Automatically saves current solve when program is exited, and loads it when program is started
• Option to hide the timer area
• Screenshot menu/button
• Background/line/guideline colors modifiable in settings
• Reorganized menus

IsoCubeSim v3.0 has the following changes:

• Supercubes, with both Pochmann and triangle stickers
• Relays and everything-relays
• New saved game format (not backwards compatible)
• Various UX improvements, bug fixes, and code cleanup

IsoCubeSim v2.4 has the following changes:

• More performance improvements
• Settings file to save certain things between sessions
• More controllable zoom
• Option to view only the F face. Toggle with the 1 key
• Changed guide lines to a center highlight. Toggle with the G key
• Option to update timer less often, for even more performance
• Bug fixes

IsoCubeSim v2.3 has the following changes:

• Performance improvements
• "Change Cube Size" dialog accepts e.g. "31" for 31x31x31
• Option for no black lines between pieces
• Hotkey changes: Space/Esc for scramble/restore, Ctrl+S/Ctrl+L for save/load
• Scramble options in the menu, and half turn scrambles only allow half turns during the solve
• Scrambling prevented during a solve, and all turns prevented after a solve, to avoid losing progress
