Is there a easy way to rotate the cube without moving the world

Hi Lars, This is such a great project!

So right now when you rotate the cube (using the key events) CSXD you are moving the camera and thus the position of your hands stay the same. So in terms of the algorithm U becomes R and then B etc.

It would be nice to rotate the cube and update your hand positions too. Is there an easy way you would recommend that?

Yeah, the keyboard controls are useless right now. Just a proof of concept, really.

Are you saying you'd want to try making it better?

Ya I forked it and remapped MLRU to align with the general algorithms. But got stuck on rotating and was just looking for a clean way forward. I was envisioning a interactive mode. Where I can reset back to F2L solved and keep re-testing a random OLL algorithm. But you could imagine the same thing for practicing solving F2L or PLL.

So one year later - does unhand() help us here?

All it does right now is translate "hand notation" (r U2 R U' r2' D r U R' U' r' D' r2 U' r') to "cube notation" (L F2 R F' L2 F L U R' U' L' F' L2 F' L').

That seems related to what you're doing, but probably not the full solution. The underlying code could make it a lot easier though.

One reason it's hard for me to answer is that I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do.
