iPhone Now a Cube-Solving Machine
Posted by Vincent Ferrari in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch)" @ 10:00 AM
"Is there anything an iPhone app cannot be programmed to do? CubeCheater is an amazing app for iPhone and iPod Touch that, given the current state of your Rubik's Cube, will tell you how to solve the puzzle in just a few moves. You can either input the cube's state using the color palette and tapping in the colors, or you can just take a picture of each face of the cube and CubeCheater will use advanced computer-vision techniques to recognize the cube for you. (The camera feature is obviously not available on iPod Touch)"
Yet another thing the iPhone can do that I can't do: solve a Rubik's Cube. I've never actually solved one in my entire life but maybe I could learn how if I got this and worked really hard?
Nah. I didn't think so either. I'll stick to popping it apart.
