3D Rubik's Cube Simulator

A fully interactive 3D Rubik's Cube built with Python using Pygame and PyOpenGL.

You can freely rotate the entire cube by dragging with your mouse to see different sides. You can also rotate each layer of the cube using keyboard shortcuts with smooth animations — just like a real Rubik's Cube!

Features

• Realistic 3D rendering with classic colors and black edges
• Mouse drag to rotate and view the cube from any angle
• Animated 90° layer rotations
• Shift key to reverse rotation direction
• Single-file, clean implementation

Installation & Running

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/amirsafa2024/Visual-Rubik-s-Cube.git
   cd THE-REPO-DIRECTORY

2. (Recommended) Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate        # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the simulator:

   python rubikCube.py

Controls

Viewing the Cube

• Left-click and drag with the mouse to rotate the whole cube and see different sides.

Rotating Layers

Press these keys to rotate the corresponding face counter-clockwise:

• U → Up face (white)
• D → Down face (yellow)
• F → Front face (green)
• B → Back face (blue)
• L → Left face (orange)
• R → Right face (red)

Hold Shift while pressing any of the above keys to rotate the face clockwise instead.

• Esc → Quit the program
