Yes, it's difficult to understand the operation on a scrambled puzzle. I th=
ink those switches at the middle of the struts sort of 'push' that face aro=
und an axis parallel to the strut. It looks like he didn't program the ones=
near the corners to do anything, and I can't think what they could do in a=
ny similarly easy to understand way.

I like that it doubles as a lamp, and with enough carefully chosen colors, =
they should average out to adding white light to the room. The design is ha=
ndsome, and I love that it favors cubies over stickers. It's especially nic=
e that he published his source code and models. (This appears to be the rig=
ht branch. ) I thin=
k he's a bit sick of the project which turned out more difficult than he ex=
pected, but that's understandable given the scope of what's involved. I thi=
nk he'd be thrilled and encouraged if someone else built their own and made=
some contributions to the code or even just talked with him about it.

I've added it to a catch-all playlist of other people's 4D twisty puzzles h=

Yes, it's difficult to understand the operation on a scrambled
puzzle. I think those switches at the middle of the struts sort of
'push' that face around an axis parallel to the strut. It looks like
he didn't program the ones near the corners to do anything, and I
can't think what they could do in any similarly easy to understand
way.



I like that it doubles as a lamp, and with enough carefully chosen
colors, they should average out to adding white light to the room.
The design is handsome, and I love that it favors cubies over
stickers. It's especially nice that he published his source code and
models. ( href=3D"https://github.com/roman-tershak/4DMC-Model/tree/92%25">This
appears to be the right branch.) I think he's a bit sick of
the project which turned out more difficult than he expected, but
that's understandable given the scope of what's involved. I think
he'd be thrilled and encouraged if someone else built their own and
made some contributions to the code or even just talked with him
about it.
