One of the notes I wanted to make in my personal (beginner) stuff relates to a ghost cube I recently figured out how to solve ...

Showing M'UM . E . M'U'M . E' and ( LR U2 L'R' U )2 in alg.cubing.net doesn't seem to actually show what we're doing. It doesn't have to be an arrow or some kind of fancy font thing (which would be hard to slant I'd think) ... just a bar or a dot on one side of the cubie faces would do the trick I'd think.

I absolutely love this project. I'm assuming this'll get added at some point even though it has the tag hard-or-complicated. Is there a place to post a bounty?

I'm unbelievably pleased I can write those two more simply (well, with less characters) as:

[M': U] [E: [M': U']] and ([LR: U2] U)2

It did take me a while to figure out what [BLAH: BLAH] meant though.

@jettero You probably want [[M': U], E] for the first one. ;-)

Are you asking about conjugates or supercubes?

[jettero]

Supercubes.

I was just remarking on the commutators and conjugates in the wrong place. This is all very exciting to me, sorry.

I actually realized recently that you can sort of emulate a 3x3x3 supercube on a 5x5x5.
First input an alg that flips each T-center with the one across from its edge, then visualize the alg you want on top of that. T-centers will indicate the colors of the sides they used to face.
