please understand it is not my intention to offend but the brief of
my project is to design and build a 2D model with all its physical
properties and limitations and to build a solution algorithm into it.
to demo my thinking i have just uploaded the design specs of my sim
into the files section under Rubik 2D directory in a hope that you
can better understand my problem. i am not looking at this in a speed
cubing prospective just a research project into a problem i could
never solve.
your input and responces over the last few days have been of immense
value to me.. if anyone is willing i would like to be able to post my
simulator which is working as a basic sim only for some of you to
respond to.. i would greatly welcome any comments on in consistancies
that you find in my work.
many thanks again
