[jitter] Rubix Cube Positions

Wed Jan 2 11:16:41 MST 2008

im making a 2x2x2 rubix cube, which is 8 cubes, with only 3 visible sides each, i made my engine work so each cube has 8 different positions, and they move using shape orient, however when a cube rotates within itself, it has totally different rotate properties.  so that means the cube has 3 states within each position making it 24 different combinations total for each cube, with 8 different cubes this makes the total number of states i have to handle is 192. Thats way too many states to handle, and in my opinion not efficient because i have to rewrite everything in order to upgrade to bigger cubes. my only solution i can think of is having each cube have three different location properties, and moving them as a different dynamic group.

Any Ideas?
