cubing.js is a collection of JavaScript libraries, still under development.

Twizzle is the spiritual successor to alg.cubing.net, based on cubing.js. It is currently being developed at src/sites/alpha.twizzle.net. See the Twizzle Diaries video series for more information on Twizzle's vision and use cases.

If you're just getting started, the easiest way to use cubing.js is through cdn.cubing.net:

<script src="https://cdn.cubing.net/js/cubing/twisty" type="module"></script>
<twisty-player alg="R U R' U R U2' R'"></twisty-player>

You can find more documentation at js.cubing.net/cubing/.

If you would like to use cubing.js as a library in your package-based projects, make sure you have node and npm installed (installing node will install npm as well). Once you have installed those, you can run:

npm install cubing

Then you can use modules like this:

import { Alg } from "cubing/alg";
import { TwistyPlayer } from "cubing/twisty";

Please note that cubing.js requires ES2022 module compatibility. See here.

If you would like to contribute to the development of cubing.js, please refer to our contribution guidelines.

If you have git, node, npm, and bun installed, you can run the cubing.js source like this (see the contribution guidelines for more details):

git clone https://github.com/cubing/cubing.js && cd cubing.js
make dev
# Now visit https://cubing.localhost:3333

To quickly check any changes for issues, try make test-fast. Run make test for more thorough testing options.

We recommend using Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to develop cubing.js on Windows.

As of this time, cubing.js primarily contains code by Lucas Garron (@lgarron) and Tom Rokicki (@rokicki). Significant parts of the cubing code also are from:

• Chen Shuang (@cs0x7f): Scramblers for 3x3x3, 4x4x4, and Square-1
• xyxxy (@torchlight): Scramblers for unofficial events

It also uses the three.js, comlink, and p-lazy libraries. Twizzle also uses the Ubuntu font.

This project is licensed under the GPL license (version 3 or later). This means that this library is free to use, although you must publish any code that uses it (e.g. also put it on GitHub). See the full license for exact details.

We've selected this license in order to encourage the cubing community to work on software in a way so that everyone can contribute and extend each other's work.
