--------------------------------------------------------
The RUBIK bundle (version 5) February 24, 2018
rubikcube package : macros for typesetting 3x3x3 cubes
rubiktwocube package : macros for typesetting 2x2x2 cubes
rubikrotation package: macros Perl program for rotations
rubikpatterns package: macros for typesetting
--------------------------------------------------------
The RUBIK bundle provides four complementary packages for
documenting the Rubik cube (3x3x3) and Twocube (2x2x2)
notation and configurations, and for processing rotation
sequences for both cubes. A Perl program which processes
rotation sequences on the fly is also included. The four
packages are:
(a) the rubikcube (3x3x3) package,
(b) the rubiktwocube (2x2x2) package (NEW),
(c) the rubikrotation package,
(d) the rubikpatterns package.
(1) rubikcube package (3x3x3 cubes)
The rubikcube package provides a collection of LaTeX
commands and macros for typesetting Rubik cube
configurations and rotation instructions using the
PGF/TikZ graphic languages.
(2) rubiktwocube package (2x2x2 cubes) NEW
The rubiktwocube package provides a collection of LaTeX
commands and macros for typesetting TwoCube configurations
and rotation instructions using the PGF/TikZ graphic
languages.
(3) rubikrotation package
The rubikrotation package, is a dynamic extension to the
rubikcube and rubiktwocube packages. It consists of the
Perl script rubikrotation.pl and style option
rubikrotation.sty. The rubikrotation package implements
rotation sequences and random scrambling of the Rubik cube
on-the-fly, using the RubikRotation command. It returns
the new Rubik state in a form which can then be typeset
using commands from the Rubik bundle.
Since the RubikRotation command works by CALLing the Perl
script rubikrotation.pl, it follows that the rubikrotation
package requires
(a) Perl to be installed, and
(b) (Pdf/Lua)LaTeX to be run using the --shell-escape
command-line switch (available from the shellesc package).
(4) rubikpatterns package
The RubikPatterns package is a small database of well-known
patterns and sequences in the form of named macros which
can be processed easily using the RubikRotation command.
(5) New features
rubikcube:
--- Improved documentation.
--- Minor improvements to log-file documentation.
--- New commands for drawing cube sidebars adjacent to
cube edges.
--- Two new commands for setting up WY (White opposite
Yellow) and WB (White opposite Blue) `starter grey
cubes'.
--- Bugfix for the \ShowSequence command (fixes a problem
of fonts not being contained appropriately).
--- Added some missing lower case rotation notation.
--- A new \NoSidebar command for disabling sidebars of a
specified colour (mainly for use with OLL displays).
rubiktwocube:
--- this is new package dealing with 2x2x2 cubes, having
similar functionality to the rubikcube package.
rubikrotation:
--- minor code improvements in Perl programme, and
improved syntax checking.
--- some minor bugfixes in Perl programme
(eg: a zero or missing integer with random keyword
now generates an error message).
--- added new keyword `cubesize' to hold cube size
ie either `three' or `two' to inform Perl programme
as to which sort of cube is being processed.
rubikpatterns:
--- (no change from v4).
