HOW TO PLAY VRUBIX

The cube acts just like the original rubix cube (a copyrighted name).

Draw on the screen are the top, left, and right faces. To see the other

sides rotate the whole cube as described later.

All rotations work by touching the stylus to the screen and moving it

in the dirrection you want to rotate.

Rotating a Column or a Row

Touch the stylus to any square on the cube, and (while holding the stylus

down) move the stylus in the dirrection you want to move the row

or column.

Rotating the whole cube

Rotating the whole cube will allow you to see the other

sides of the cube. For example the bottom or the back.

Any movement of the stylus which starts off of the cube will

rotate the cube.

The cube will rotate side to side if the dirrection of your

stylus movement is to the side. Likewise the cube will rotate

up and down if the stylus moves up and down. Moving the stylus

to the rigth or left will rotate the cube arround an axis which

runs through the top to the bottom. Up and down movements

rotate the cube arround an axis that passes through one of the

showing sides. For movements which started to the right side

of the cube the axis will pass through the left face. For

movements which started on the left side of the cube the axis

will pass through the right face.

Vrubix will check and tell you if your move has solved the cube. A

solved cube has each side being only one style. For an example use the

Complete command from the GAME menu.
