Rubiks Cube

Introduction

Released in 2001, this digital version of the Rubik’s cube is what launched Atman Software.


The game features a 3D cube, complete with per-pixel lighting and shading, that you can rotate in multiple axes, in order to solve the cube. And if you get stuck, the computer could even show you how to solve it. Heck, it even comes with a feature that lets you arrange the colors on the cube. So if you've already got a real Rubik’s cube and no clue how to solve it, then...well you could arrange the color patterns accordingly in-game and let the computer show you how.


Best of all it’s completely FREE. No time limits. No adware. No spyware. No popups. Just one hell of a cube! So go ahead, download it; and take it for a spin.

Rubiks Cube Trivia

  • The original Rubik's Cube has sides of red, green, yellow, white, orange and blue.
  • It was invented by Erno Rubik, a Hungarian Professor of Architecture and Design obsessed with 3D geometry. Although first envisioned in 1974, it took him several years, however, to work out the complex interaction of the cube's elements. And even after creating a working model, Rubik found it difficult to market his new toy due to the political and economic atmosphere -- Hungary was deeply communist at the time. Finally, in 1979, Rubik got the break he was looking for when the Rubik's Cube was featured at the Nuremberg Toy Show.
  • There are 43 quintillion (43,252,003,274,489,856,000) combinations in the Rubiks cube.
  • Over 100 million Rubik's Cubes were sold between 1980 and 1982.
  • In 1980, Ideal Toys was going to call it The Gordian Knot, but someone suggested The Rubik's Cube, and the rest is history.
  • The World Rubik Cube championship was held in Budapest on June 5, 1982. Nineteen National Champions took part. Minh Thai, the US Champion, won by solving the Cube in of 22.95 seconds. The world record, in competitive conditions, grew progressively lower and now stands at 16.5 seconds.
