DsCube is a three dimensional cube rotates at 360. It is a 3D Rubik's cube simulator for the NDS, which includes 2x2x2, 3x3x3 & 4x4x4 versions.
It was participated in the NEO Summer Coding Compo 2008 (NDS Game).
Installation
Copy dscube.nds to a DS-compatible flashcart's microSD card, insert it into your Nintendo DS, and launch the ROM from the flashcart menu.
User guide
While playing, tap a face on the cube and drag in the direction you want the layer to rotate. A short drag (roughly one cubelet's width) triggers the move.
Setting options:
- Rotation Speed (Slow/Normal/Fast) - Controls how quickly layers animate when rotated. Tap to cycle through values.
- Animation (On/Off) - When off, rotations snap instantly to their final position.
Gameplay tips:
- Use L and R to zoom out and in - a wider view helps when planning your next moves.
- Orbit the camera with the D-pad to find the face you need before dragging.
- Start with the 2×2 Mini cube to get comfortable with the touch controls before moving to larger sizes.
- If a rotation doesn't trigger, make sure you're dragging far enough — a deliberate swipe across one cubelet works best.
- Turn animations off in settings if you prefer faster solving with instant snaps.
