RCT

A Rubik's Cube Tutorial application for beginners learning to solve the cube.

Project

I created a Rubik's Cube Tutorial (RCT) application as an educational project for beginners learning to solve the cube and those seeking to improve their solving skills with a beginner CFOP method
External dependencies are OpenCV for video I/O and Raylib for graphics rendering
Program has Linux and Windows ports, which can be downloaded at the release page
Source code is licensed under the GPLv3 license

Disclaimer: The project is still under development and should be used alongside a more full-fledged tutorial. Additionally, the last steps (OLL and PLL) are based off of a slightly different beginner's method (as shown here) that isn't the widely-used method used here, here, and here.

Functionality

You are able to "scan" your cube and store its state within the program
Program can then provide a step-by-step explanation to solving your cube (assuming scanning is completely valid)
However, the user interface is minimal and not ideal for beginners currently
Program is still being actively worked on to hopefully realise such a program

Controls

Alternatively, buttons can be used in the GUI instead.

Left Control: Toggle camera
Space: Store current face and move on to next / Fast forward cube animation
Backspace: Remove current face and move to previous
N: Reset all scanned faces
Right arrow: Move on to next step
Period: Skip cube animation

Debug-only Controls

Q: Load pre-made scramble (for testing)
