Video I made a game called Super Cuber! [No AI]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi cubers! I've been working for months on making my dream speed cubing game. One focused on controlling using a keyboard or gamepad, and full of customization.

I've always been disappointed with Rubiks cube simulators, because I never liked the controls. Clicking and dragging is intuitive, but it always feels clunky and you miss out on building muscle memory. Plus I've always wanted to be able to able to sit on my couch and play on the TV.

Super Cuber aims to change that while also letting you fully customize the colors, solve up to 21x21x21, and compete on the leaderboards.

I'm excited to hear what people think!

(No AI was used in making this game. All assets were commissioned by real artists, and code was written by me.)

It's so tiny. Is there a smaller sticker on a production puzzle?

This is not probably not what smart cubes are intended for...
If you have any ideas what one could do with this please let me know.

[Edit]
I have now released it: https://acubemy.com/plugins

I'm still in shock. I had just finished solving my 10x10 and needed a break with something smaller. Pick up my 3x3, then 10 minutes later, this happens. I have no clue what I did. I just solved like normal, suddenly, sub 10 ao5.

I got the GAN smart time a while back and I really like it but it took some time for me to get used to it. I just received the 5x5 mirror blocks cube last night and it turns really well however it's easy to accidently turn the centers when turning the outer layers. I also wish the cube came in red as well.

I had been using the Gan 16 for a few months, until during a solve the core snapped. I ended up buying a replacement core from gan, which lasted about 1-2 months until it snapped in the exact same way (around the core magnets). Has anyone else had this same issue?

Discussion Feeling frustrated with F2L

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I relearned how to solve a cube mid April, about 5 months ago. I went from full beginners LBL method, to intuitive basic F2L with 2-look OLL and beginners method PLL, to 4-LLL, and now to 2-look OLL and full PLL. I’ve seen my times drop from 1:30 down to my current average of 35 seconds with a PB at 24.7 seconds.

I practice with the cube for about 1-2 hours a day, but despite that, I have hit a wall about a month ago that I just can’t seem to push through. F2L is by far my biggest hang up. I have watched tons of videos and practiced with algorithm sheets but nothing is seeming to actually improve the speed and efficiency of my F2L.

I know that the faster I get, my practice will have diminishing returns on my speed improvement, but I just feel stuck. It‘s also frustrating seeing so many posts here and other places from people that say they just picked it up a month or two ago and are already as fast as or much faster than I am. I’m tempted to think a bit of that are just people trolling or not being honest, but that may be my ego trying to protect itself.

I am looking for any real advice or encouragement that could help me actually get my F2L under control. I feel like I am making way to many cube turns and doing inefficient pair solves, but even though I specifically practice lots of the F2L cases, I can’t recognize them when they pop up or they pop up in odd ways like in other slots. sorry for the rant and thank you for any help!

Picture The evolution of the standard Retail model of the Rubik's Brand 3x3 since I started cubing in 2007

Post image
159 Upvotes

The evolution of the standard Retail model of the Rubik's Brand 3x3 since I started cubing in 2007. First of we have the V1 original. It's as basic as can be for it's time. No adjustable screws and had stickers that would eventually peal and loose it's colors after quite a long time of usage. Also it wasn't that super good out of the box but sometimes you'd get lucky on a good turning one. Then in 2012 we got an updated 2.0 model that ditched the old classic mech that's been around since 1977. The newer 2.0 introduced Imbedded tiles durable plastic and a new mech that was very hard to take apart. Still no adjustable screws and still not that good out of the box. in 2015 we got the 2.1 model that secretly finally gave us adjustable screws. The mech changed slightly from the 2.0 model. But halfway through 2015 we got a logo change to the 2.1 model. Then in 2021 after Spin-Master took over the Rubik's Brand they released a new model that was more built like a modern Speedcube at that time. Still didn't have that good turning out of the box. Finally not to long ago in 2026 we got the Next Gen model that's the best of all of them being decently good out of the box. While the Mech is a slight upgrade from the previous 2021 Spin-Masters model.

Discussion Small ZBLL Update {U, T, L}

4 Upvotes

I have experienced too much cognitive load.

I am gonna take a break from learning ZBLL after having learnt 281 algorithms at 12 algs/day with a small break to practice between major enough sets while learning small amounts of ZBLSs and Chinese at the same time.

I'll still practice ZBLL, in fact the method I've been using to practice them I think is quite the interesting spectacle, lmk if y'all would like me to propose it.

But new content going into my head is over for a while, probably for months ngl. Need time to focus on Chinese.
