alg.cubing.net

The new generation of alg/reconstruction viewing and sharing.
Built on alg.js and twisty.js.

Examples

• Feliks Zemdegs's 4.22 world record
• T-perm (fullscreen)
• Notation Stress Test

Goals

• Solid desktop and mobile support.
• Beautiful alg/reconstruction playback.
• Convenient alg/reconstruction input (i.e. Heise input, live feedback).
• Support for all official puzzles, and popular unofficial ones.
• Simultaneous development with twisty.js:
  • Replacement for Java twistypuzzle applets (Heise/Randelshofer/Jelinek/Petrus).
  • State-of-the-art alg parsing and transformation/calculation.
  • General extensibility/hackability, but hopefully all contributed back in one place for everyone to use.
    • Few dependencies.
