An animation of the twisting of a Rubik's Cube. Use the six colored buttons to cause a clockwise quarter-turn twist of the face with the corresponding color at the center.

Details

Counterclockwise turns are denoted by , half turns by . Because the cube as a whole can be rotated with the mouse, it is easier to refer to the faces by their center colors. The scramble button performs 25 random quarter turns (in either direction).
