getMovesCube: Create a Cube for a Move Sequence

Description

Creates a cube that corresponds to a move sequence via post-multiplication.

Usage

getMovesCube(moves = character(0), cubie = TRUE)

Arguments

moves

A move sequence; either a single string or a character vector with one element per move. Can include URFDLB face turns. Cannot include rotations, middle slice moves or wide moves.

cubie

If FALSE, produce a stickerCube rather than a cubieCube.

Value

A cube object.

Details

The cube object created by this function represents the application of the move sequence by means of post-multiplication with the composition operator %v%. If A is a cube and m is the move sequence, then A %v% getMovesCube(m) is the cube that results from applying the move sequence to A. In particular, if A is the solved state then this is just getMovesCube(m). If m represents a scramble sequence, then getMovesCube(m) is the scrambled cube state.

The move sequence cannot include rotations, middle slice moves or wide moves because these cannot be expressed via post-multiplication. To implement these moves, see the move and rotate functions.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
scramb <- "D2F2UF2DR2DBL'BRULRUL2FL'U'"
aCube <- getMovesCube(scramb)
mvs <- "x2D'R'L2'U'FU'F'D'U'U'R'y'R'U'Ry'RU'R'U'RUR'U'R'U'F'UFRU'"
is.solved(move(aCube, mvs))
# }
