🧩 Rubik's Cube Solver - Pro 3D Edition

A Java FX / Python implementation of the Kociemba solver for Rubik's Cube.

📖 Project Overview

Got stuck with Rubik's Cube? No problem! This Java-based desktop application gives you a near-optimal solution!
This version combines 3D interactive cube and 2D mini-map with background Kociemba solver, giving the near-optimal solution.
Designed with a clean MVC-inspired architecture, it uses Java FX for a vibrant UI and Python for background solver.

✨ Key Features

• 3D interactive cube: Click stickers to edit the cube to a state in which you are stuck.
• 2D mini-map: View each side of the cube on a simple, 2D mini-map.
• Kociemba notation: Generates, processes, and displays standard Kociemba algorithms/notation for near-optimized solution paths.
• Background Python Solver: Leverages efficient background processing to calculate solution states without interrupting or freezing the graphical UI.
