The Rubik's Cube Challenge is a .NET-based project designed to simulate a Rubik's Cube and perform various operations on it. The project provides a representation of the cube's faces and simulates standard Rubik's Cube moves, enabling you to implement and test solving algorithms.
- CubeFace Representation: Represents each face of the cube in a flat 2D view using an XY axis.
- Cube Class: Supports standard Rubik's Cube move notations (U, D, L, R, F, B and their counter-clockwise versions).
To get started with the Rubik's Cube Challenge in .NET, follow these steps:
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/oisezrg/RubikCubeChallenge.git -
Open the Project: Open the solution file (RubiksCubeChallenge.sln) in Visual Studio or your preferred .NET IDE.
-
Build the Solution: Ensure that all dependencies are restored, and build the solution.
-
Run the Application: Execute the application to start interacting with the Rubik's Cube.
The Cube class represents the entire Rubik's Cube built from six CubeFace instances:
- Responsible for performing actions on the cube, such as rotations and edge movements.
- Supports move notation like U (Up), D (Down), L (Left), R (Right), F (Front), and B (Back) as well as their anti-clockwise versions (e.g., U__).
The CubeFace class describes a single face of the Rubik's Cube in a flat 2D representation using the XY axis:
The Rubik's Cube has six faces, each represented by 9 fields. Each tile in the grid corresponds to a sticker on the cube, identified by a color (e.g., 'White', 'Red', 'Blue'). The grid layout follows the XY coordinate system in flat view (https://rubiks-cube-solver.com/).

Moves can be applied using the Cube class:
Cube cube = provider.GetRequiredService<ICube>();
cube.U(); // clockwise
cube.R_(); // anti clockwise
