This is a simulation of a 65536x65536 Rubik’s cube. A new world record size for a simulated cube.


A note to new programmers: I started this project as a way to challenge myself with learning new skills. I believe the best way to learn is to pick a project that is interesting to you and then never give up until you've succeeded. The programming language doesn't matter as long as you are learning and having fun.

The algorithm is identical to the one I used in the previous record. However, this implementation is much faster so it no longer takes months to solve.

A standard 3x3 cube is 57mm per side. That means a single tile is 19mm wide. Therefore, a 65535 cube is 1245.284 meters on each side!

I added a section showing the scrambling process and how we know that a cube has been scrambled enough.

I produced the animated bar graphs using R - [ Ссылка ]

The algorithm first solves the centers (99.994% of this cube is centers) using a commutator that works extremely well for large cubes. It is able to move many pieces in a single row from one face to another without disturbing the other faces.

After solving each center it solves edges. I made sure to slow down the video this time to show the edges being solved with better detail.

The technique I used to solve the edges brings pairs of edges into the front face, then exchanges pieces from the left side to right. If needed it will flip edge pieces so they face the one direction. It also uses a standard algorithm for fixing parity issues.
