==Features==
* 3D rubik's cube simulator.
* Also has 2x2x2 and 4x4x4 version.
* You can disable animations for extra speed.
* D-pad, ABXY to rotate cube, use stylus to twist parts.
* Start brings up/hides the menu.
* [[DLDI|DLDI]] patch to use save/load functions.


==Installation==
==Installation==
Download and extract file.
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.


[[DLDI|DLDI]] patch it and copy it to the root directory of the card.
==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.


==User guide==
Setting options:
Tap Start to scramble the cube and begin the timer. Bring up the menu to save or load (you can save only one file).  
* 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.


Settings from the Options menu:
Gameplay tips:
* Type - Select pocket, normal or revenge (changing this will reset the game).
* Use L and R to zoom out and in - a wider view helps when planning your next moves.
* Timer - Show/hide the timer.
* Orbit the camera with the D-pad to find the face you need before dragging.
* Rotation - Set the speed to spin the cube.
* Start with the 2×2 Mini cube to get comfortable with the touch controls before moving to larger sizes.
* Animation - Toggle the animation (turning it off will allow you to solve it faster, feature for die hard cubers).
* 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.
