added streamlit compatibility. streamlit is very mad at me.
Devlog 2
I know this one is short, but I just want to keep things nice and tidy for when I start my solving algorithm.
Changes:
- Refractored so code is cleaner
- Added animations (fun!)
- Now I can trigger move commands with a single string and not a bunch of function calls
- Added middle slicing
- Cleaned up logic to make it more computationally clean
and with that… LET THE GRIND BEGIN
Today is the first day of software development for this project… first up is representing the cube’s state with code. I created a list of faces (6), where each face is a 3x3 matrix comprising of 9 squares. I spent a lot of time figuring out what would be the correct orientation and ordering of each face, but I think I have come to a happy compromise. For rotations, I kept trying to come up with some fancy matrix operation to transform 4 faces at the same time, but I ended up just creating a table of pieces to move for each operation and fetching that every time (if it works dont fix it). Finally, I created a function to turn the standard notation into a list of operations for my virtual cube. My next step is creating a visual representation of the cube in 2D!
