Method Detail

forceSolveCube

public static int forceSolveCube(int attempts,
                 String pattern)

Solves the cube. If error found in cube's colors - try again

Parameters:

attempts - Number of attempts to solve the cube

pattern - The desired cube pattern

Returns:

errorCode - 0 for success, otherwise error code as specified in TwoPhase or -9 when there are two centerpieces with the same color

forceSolveCube

public static int forceSolveCube(int attempts)

Solve the cube to standard pattern (each face different color). If error found in cube's colors - try again

Parameters:

attempts - Number of attempts to solve the cube

Returns:

errorCode - 0 for success, otherwise error code as specified in TwoPhase or -9 when there are two centerpieces with the same color

solveCube

private static int solveCube(String pattern)

Solve the cube

Parameters:

pattern - The desired cube pattern

Returns:

errorCode - 0 for success, otherwise error code as specified in TwoPhase or -9 when there are two centerpieces with the same color

See Also:

PatternMenu, TwoPhase

solveCube

@Deprecated
public static int solveCube()

Deprecated. Use forceSolveCube(0)

Solve the cube to standard pattern (each face different color)

Returns:

Status - 0 for success, otherwise error

See Also:

solveCube(String pattern)

handleSolution

private static void handleSolution(ICube cube,
                  List<Move> moves)

Handle cube solution given the required moves

Parameters:

cube - The rubik's cube

moves - The required moves to the selected pattern

convertOrientation2FaceColor

private static Color convertOrientation2FaceColor(Orientation orientation)

Convert cube's orientation to face's color

Parameters:

orientation - The cube's orientation

Returns:

The face's color

createCubeRepForAlgorithm

public static String createCubeRepForAlgorithm(ICube cube)

Creates the string representation of the cube. see cube parameter definition Conversion fails when there are two center facelets with the same color

Parameters:

cube - - the cube to create representation for

Returns:

the string representation of the cube on success, and null on conversion failure.
