A light-hearted networking exercise with a puzzle cube theme.
The end goal is a suite of networked applications that can be self-hosted on a single machine to present a cube that can be scrambled and solved.
The puzzle is presented as a cube map in the same manner as in Old Pochman.
- Open
Solution/Solution.slnin Visual Studio - Run CubeService to make the cube available via the API.
- Run CubeProxy to make the CubeService API available to other components.
- Run CubeStatePublisher to make the cube state available to frontends over SignalR.
- Run front end application(s) of your choosing to view the cube and interact with it:
- Try CubeVisualizer to view the cube in 3D
- Try FaceViewer instances to view individual faces of the cube
- Try FaceViewerCLI to view the cube within the command line and input moves
- Try CubeManipulator to submit moves without any cube visuals
You can use standard cube notation to input moves. These are:
- U will rotate the top row right.
- D will rotate the bottom row right.
- R will rotate the right column upwards.
- L will rotate the left column downwards.
- F will rotate the front face clockwise.
- B will rotate the back face counter-clockwise.
- M will rotate the middle column downwards.
You can use the {move}' notation to do a move in reverse. An example would be U' to rotate the top row left.
You can use the {move}2 notation to do a move twice. An example would be U2 to rotate the top row left two times.
Each move uses the front face as reference
