Rubik's cube
Tilted Twister 2.0 is programmed to solve a standard Rubik's cube. The Rubik's Logo on the white face is taken into account by the program. The program works best if the cube is loose. If your cube is very stiff, you could try lubricating it with silicone spray. After lubrication, work the cube for a few minutes.Tilted Twister Java Application
