The document outlines a project to create a 3D simulation of a Rubik's Cube, highlighting its complexity with 43 quintillion possible configurations. The project aims to provide hands-on experience in graphics programming, focusing on user interaction and puzzle logic. By the end, participants will enhance their understanding of the Rubik's Cube, improve problem-solving skills, and gain experience with graphics libraries like OpenGL or Three.js.

How Complex is

a Rubick’s Cube
A standard 3x3 Rubik’s Cube has
43,252,003,274,489,856,000
(43 quintillion) possible configurations.
How Complex is
a Rubick’s Cube
That’s more than:
▪ The number of stars in the Milky Way
▪ The number of grains of sand on Earth
▪ Or even the number of atoms in your body
3D Rubick’s Cube
Simulation
Presented by Speedcubing club
This Project is all about
Taking any one of those
43 quintillion states and
bringing it to life with 3D
animation.
Overview
This project involves building a fully interactive
and visually appealing 3D simulation of a Rubik’s
Cube. The cube should support real-time
rotation, cube-face turns, scrambling, solving
algorithms, and user input via keyboard/mouse.
The project will focus on using graphics
programming and 3D transformations while also
incorporating puzzle logic.
Objectives
• To simulate a functional 3D Rubik's Cube using
computer graphics.
• To provide hands-on experience in graphics
libraries like OpenGL or Three.js.
• To model the cube’s internal logic to handle
rotations, face turns, and color mapping.
• To develop visualization and interaction
techniques for an intuitive user experience.

It involves 3D transformations,
understanding Rubik's Cube algorithms,
and implementing visual interaction,
which makes it ideal for those with basic
coding and a desire to dive deeper into
graphics or puzzle logic.
