firstly let me state i am not a cuber unfortunately due to my 
physical disability i was never able to get on with the standard cube

i am however completing a degree in software engineering and thought 
that this would be an interesting problem to look at for my final 
project.

the main problem i have with many of the simulations i've found for 
comparison centres around the middle row and orientation issues

many of the simulations found including some examples in the files 
section of the croup allow the middle rows of the 3x3x3 cube to move 
independently like the outer rows. These moves would seem to be 
physically impssible on an actual cube. the only way you could 
simulate a move on the middle rows is to rotate the two outer faces 
and alter the orientation of the cube. implying that each middle row 
move would actually have to be counted as two moves rather than one. 
and would only be correct at all if the cube was viewed from one 
fixed position.

the fact that in many cases in these simulations you can perform a 
move on the centre lines and aulter the orientation view of the cube 
would seem from a new user perspective to be incorrect

am i thinking along the right lines, can tou think of some other 
reason for implementing this functionality

Many thanks kelvin
