#65788 — Google Cloud Platform and GlassSolver Project

I am fully ready to invest in the Google Cloud Platform, and bring with me my very own idea: Glass Solver (Sometimes called GlaSolver). Long story short, this application for Google Glass will connect to the Cloud to retrieve God's Algorithm for the cube sitting in front of you by doing a series of scans of the cube. But, that (specifically) is not what I came here for. In order to have all these algorithms, I have to make them first. One important detail that is probably worth mentioning is the fact that this application will support no only 3x3s. It will also support 2x2s,4x4s,and 5x5s. The last 2 mentioned have not been done before. God's Number has never been found for the 4x4 or 5x5 cube. But thanks to Google and their Compute Platform, it is possible. I myself am relatively new to Python. My experience is in Java primarily. Again, long story even shorter, I am asking for a Python (2.7 please!) script for each cube. Thanks for reading this and possibly for your script!

Also I should mention that I will credit whomever writes the scripts. I have contacted Google on their Compute Engine which would execute these scripts. I am await a reply!

It might help if you mention that you're talking about the Rubic
 cube, and supply an example of what you want in such a script.

I came here because I don't know what the script needs to be. I will edit my post anyway to add some details. I didn't once say Rubik's Cube? :O

One thing you will have to do is find another name for your project.

Thanks! This name is rather temporary to begin with. I won't necessarily keep that name in the future. As for now, that is my first name and for now I will be keeping it (until it is released)

Would you please read and action this

Does ANYONE have a clue how to do this? I understand that it is hard but geez...

Absolutely no clue what your question is. You seem to assume that:

- we know what "God's algorithm" is;

- we know what "God's Number" is;

- we understand what you mean by 3x3s, 2x2s, 4x4s and 5x5s (five 
  what by five what?).

and then to add insult to injury, you're asking us to write your program 
for you! Quote: "I am asking for a Python (2.7 please!) script for each 
cube."

So, we don't fully understand the problem you are trying to solve, we 
don't understand the terminology you are using, and we're not really 
inclined to do all the work doing the hard part -- the part you 
apparently don't know how to solve -- just so that you can mention our 
name somewhere in a Read Me file and then claim the program as your own 
work. Especially since the problem you are trying to solve appears to be 
impossible, according to the link you posted earlier:

http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?46268-Introducing-GlassSolver-back-and-better-than-ever!&p=951473

tl;dr: you've announced a project that never existed as "back and better 
than ever", and asked others to write the code for you.

They'll be Rubik's Cubes, as Dave said earlier in the thread. God's
Number is the theoretical fewest-moves-to-solve, called that because
you would need to be the omniscient Deity to know which moves to
actually do. But I agree that it should have been said. Not everyone
knows what your research is :)

For some reason, they're often referred to in just two dimensions. I
have no idea why. A so-called "3x3" cube is standard, and has 3x3x3
small cubes (well, actually, the standard engineering form of it has
eight corner cubes, twelve edge cubes, and six center cubes, not one
of which is actually a cube, so that's 26 non-cubes and nothing in the
middle), and analogously the others. I suppose calling it a "Three
Cube" or a "Four Cube" isn't clear, and certainly "3x3x3" is
redundant.
