Virtual Rubik's Cube

• Battle Tetris
• Perl C-Scope

New Improvement

Apr 15, 1996. Now it supports mouse's right button for spinning. Special thanks to Andreas Krebs, whose JavaMines is really a nice game.

Instruction

Drag the mouse the change your viewpoint. To spin, hold CTRL or mouse's right button and drag the mouse pointer from one square to any of its neighbors. You can use the code for any nonprofittable use. But remember to mention the authors' names in your revised program. You are also encouraged to improve the program or give your comments and bug reports. I have only tested the applet with Netscape 2.0 from SGI/Irix and SunOS, if there is any problems in other platforms or you have any further questions, please contact me and I'll be glad to help. My E-Mail address is: sli2@gl.umbc.edu. If you want to see another Java applet written by me, do not forget to check Battle Tetris page to have some fun.
