Zen 2D Rubik's cube

Zen 2D Rubik's cube is a GUI interactive virtual 2D Rubik's cube for zen-like solving. Done using Golang and SDL2.

You can train algorithms or just play around with a virtual cube. No pressure no timer, go fullscreen for max zen and scramble the cube in peace. With the clock in the corner you'll know whenever it's the time to end.

Download

To download this project use the git clone command from the terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/Sanubir/Zen-2D-Rubiks-cube.git

Run the project by 'cd-ing' into the Zen-2D-Rubiks-cube/ directory and using the go command from the terminal:

$ cd Zen-2D-Rubiks-cube/
$ go run main.go

Please keep in mind that the first use of SDL2 might take a while to compile and run.

If there are errors about fonts you might also have to install SDL2 ttf devel packages.

On Fedora run:

$ sudo dnf install SDL2_ttf-devel

On Ubuntu run:

$ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev

That's mostly it, hope you enjoy it.
