• Export and import designs into a shareable code (with an option to animate the process)
• Orient your design with rotation controls (and an upright button in case you mess it up)
• Support for sizes from 2 to 480 prisms (good luck)
• Various color, theme and other vanity options
• Toggleable collision detection (design with the spatial clunk of a real one)

⌨️ Controls:

• LMB / RMB on a prism - turn 90 degrees

• MMB / RMB - Orbit view
• LMB / Shift+MMB / Shift+RMB - Pan view
• X / C / Scroll - Zoom

🚨 Project status

This program was made in the summer of 2024 as a fun little project. I haven't worked on it since, and currently don't plan on continuing. Therefore, I've decided to release it now (December 2025), even though it's not in the feature-full state I wanted it to be.

There are lots of features I've planned - examples include a catalogue of preset models, piece-by-piece painting, a puzzle/speed gamemode, mobile support... All things unfit for the current codebase and state of the project. Perhaps I'll make a version 2 with more experience someday. The old to-do document can be found in the README at https://github.com/leosefcik/rubiks-snake-designer/
