Introduction

Project done by Lukas Kulbis for U of I Chancellor's Honors Program

The original Rubik Cube is a puzzle composed of a cube where each side is split up into 9 smaller sections. In its solved state, each side of the face has the same color throughout. The challenge of a Rubik Cube puzzle is to reach this final solved state through a series of rotation on the cube.
The original goal of this project was to create a self-solving cube. However, due to the unexpected complexity of this objective, an alternative goal is to perform an algorithm that solves the cube after only two rotations from the solved state. Another goal of the project is to demonstrate how the Layer Method would be executed. This is done by breaking the method into several steps and displaying each part individually.
