CubeStructurer is an open-source and advanced Rubik's Cube explorer written in C#.
A Rubik's Cube explorer is a program that allows you to find algorithms, solve a cube, run patterns on different scrambles, and more. CubeStructurer is essentially a more advanced version of CubeExplorer.
This program is made for the ones that want to optimize their times as much as possible, people who want to make their own methiods, and people who like messing around with the Rubik's Cube.

The program has different sections:
- The saved patterns: Allows you to optimize and run patterns you saved.
- The virtual cube: A 3D representation of the Rubik's Cube.
- The command bar: This is a very complicated thing, so I'll explain it later.
The command bar is the most complicated part of the program.
If you run an algorithm (e.g. R U R' U'), and press enter, it will run the algorithm on the virtual cube.
There are also commands starting with a :, / or whatever key you set in the settings.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
ptr (pattern, name) |
Adds a pattern to the saved patterns. |
opt (pattern, name) |
Optimizes a pattern. |
try (pattern, number of scrambles) |
Runs a pattern on a number of scrambles. |
run (pattern, name) |
Runs a pattern on the virtual cube. |
mkalg (complex-ptr, name) |
Creates a pattern from a complex pattern. |
del (pattern, name) |
Deletes a pattern. |
sfile (filename) |
Saves a file. |
lfile (filename) |
Loads a file. |
mrgfile (filename) |
Merges a file. |
vr (var-name, value) |
Sets or makes a variable. |
cl |
Clears the screen. |
Complex patterns describe something, instead of a series of moves.
For example, a complex pattern could be: swap (fc(yll).topc, fc(grr).topc), this pattern swaps the top corners of the green and yellow faces.
Complex patterns are made of commands, variables, and operators.
While patterns are just moves.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
swap (a, b) |
Swaps the positions of pieces. |
rot (a, b) |
Rotates the pieces. |
mv(a, pos) |
Moves the piece to a position. |
lock (a) |
Makes the piece un-movable. |
unlock (a) |
Makes the piece movable again. |
