We can see that every step is in form of rotation of one of six faces in either clockwise or anti-clockwise direction relative to the face and we have defined functions for the same
We are imagining the cube as a 6x3x3 matrix which hold values according to the above layout
First we need to create a 6x3x3 matrix like this :
int cube[6][3][3]= {{{11, 12, 13}, {14, 15, 16}, {17, 18, 19}}, {{21, 22, 23}, {24, 25, 26}, {27, 28, 29}}, {{31, 32, 33}, {34, 35, 36}, {37, 38, 39}}, {{41, 42, 43}, {44, 45, 46}, {47, 48, 49}}, {{51, 52, 53}, {54, 55, 56}, {57, 58, 59}}, {{61, 62, 63}, {64, 65, 66}, {67, 68, 69}}};
We can(should) change the values depending on how we have scrambled the cube
To rotate one face clockwise we use the following statement : face1(&cube[0][0][0], 0)
// this rotates the face1 clockwise ie. the white face
| function name | work |
|---|---|
face1(int *a, int b) |
rotates white face |
face2(int *a, int b) |
rotates red face |
face3(int *a, int b) |
rotates green face |
face4(int *a, int b) |
rotates orange face |
face5(int *a, int b) |
rotates blue face |
face6(int *a, int b) |
rotates yellow face |
First parameter tells the address first element of the face
Second tells if rotation is clockwise or anti-clockwise
0 for clockwise
1 for anti-clockwise
