Well, as a solution to this, I took a Virtual Cube simulation and added sizing buttons (the cube program supports 2x2x2 to 5x5x5 sized cubes), a keyboard interface, and allowed it to receive sequences in standard UDFBLR notation. I also added locking of the center pieces to make using a paired up Revenge easier. The cube is located at http://www.mud.ca/cube/cube.html. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions about the program should be sent to: mailto://noel@mud.ca. Enjoy, -Noel Dillabough
